Abstract
Manifold is a generic high-level system design language designed to resemble modern functional programming languages. It is intended to be usable in a variety of design domains that can be conceptualized with components, connectors, ports, and constraints. Domain-specific backends exist for microfluidic devices and digital logic circuits. In Manifold 2.0 we have enhanced both the frontend language and the microfluidic backend. The syntax of the frontend language has been expanded with several useful features, including a type system, a module system, and tuples as first-class values. The microfluidic backend has been extended to generate Modelica code, which can be used to run time-domain simulations in third-party tools such as MapleSim.

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
