Abstract
We extend the classification of nearest neighbour walks in the quarter plane to models in which multiplicities are attached to each direction in the step set. Our study leads to a small number of infinite families that completely characterize all the models whose associated group is D4, D6, or D8. These families cover all the models with multiplicites 0, 1, 2, or 3, which were experimentally found to be D-finite — with three noteworthy exceptions. Nous étendons la classification des marches aux plus proches voisins dans le quart de plan à des modèles dans lesquels une multiplicité est attachée à chaque direction de l’ensemble des pas. Notre étude identifie un petit nombre de familles infinies qui caractérisent complétement tous les modèles dont le groupe est D4, D6 ou D8. Ces familles contiennent tous les modèles à multiplicités 0, 1, 2 ou 3 dont il a été prouvé expérimentalement qu’ils étaientD-finis —avec trois exceptions notables.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
