Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A pedagogical introduction to the theory of a Gaussian scalar field which shows firstly, how the whole theory is encapsulated in the Wightman function [Formula: see text] regarded abstractly as a two-index tensor on the vector space of (spacetime) field configurations, and secondly how one can arrive at [Formula: see text] starting from nothing but the retarded Green function [Formula: see text]. Conceiving the theory in this manner seems well suited to curved spacetimes and to causal sets. It makes it possible to provide a general spacetime region with a distinguished “vacuum” or “ground state”, and to recognize some interesting formal relationships, including a general condition on [Formula: see text] expressing zero-entropy or “purity”.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
