Abstract
We study energy integrals and discrete energies on the sphere, in particular, analogues of the Riesz energy with the geodesic distance in place of the Euclidean, and we determine that the range of exponents for which uniform distribution optimizes such energies is different from the classical case. We also obtain a very general form of the Stolarsky principle, which relates discrete energies to certain <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper L squared"> <mml:semantics> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">L^2</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> discrepancies, and prove optimal asymptotic estimates for both objects. This leads to sharp asymptotics of the difference between optimal discrete and continuous energies in the geodesic case, as well as new proofs of discrepancy estimates.

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
