Abstract
We establish a number of results about smooth and topological concordance of knots in S 1 × S 2 . The winding number of a knot in S 1 × S 2 is defined to be its class in H 1 ( S 1 × S 2 ; Z ) ≅ Z . We show that there is a unique smooth concordance class of knots with winding number one. This improves the corresponding result of Friedl–Nagel–Orson–Powell in the topological category. We say a knot in S 1 × S 2 is slice (respectively, topologically slice) if it bounds a smooth (respectively, locally flat) disk in D 2 × S 2 . We show that there are infinitely many topological concordance classes of non-slice knots, and moreover, for any winding number other than ± 1 , there are infinitely many topological concordance classes even within the collection of slice knots. Additionally, we demonstrate the distinction between the smooth and topological categories by constructing infinite families of slice knots that are pairwise topologically but not smoothly concordant, as well as non-slice knots that are topologically slice and are pairwise topologically, but not smoothly, concordant.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
