Abstract
Abstract We consider homogeneous multiaffine polynomials whose coefficients are the Plücker coordinates of a point V of the Grassmannian. We show that such a polynomial is stable (with respect to the upper half plane) if and only if V is in the totally nonnegative part of the Grassmannian. To prove this, we consider an action of matrices on multiaffine polynomials. We show that a matrix A preserves stability of polynomials if and only if A is totally nonnegative. The proofs are applications of classical theory of totally nonnegative matrices, and the generalized Pólya–Schur theory of Borcea and Brändén.

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
