Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Let E be a finite set of elements, and let L be a clutter over ground set E. We say distinct elements e, f are opposite if every member and every minimal cover of L contains at most one of e, f. In this paper, we investigate opposite elements and reveal a rich theory underlying such a seemingly simple restriction. The clutter C obtained from L after identifying some opposite elements is called an identification of L; inversely, L is called a split of C. We will show that splitting preserves three clutter properties, i.e., idealness, the max-flow min-cut property, and the packing property. We will also display several natural examples in which a clutter does not have these properties but a split of them does. We will develop tools for recognizing when splitting is not a useful operation, and as well, we will characterize when identification preserves the three mentioned properties. We will also make connections to spanning arborescences, Steiner trees, comparability graphs, degenerate projective planes, binary clutters, matroids, as well as the results of Menger, Ford and Fulkerson, the Replication Conjecture, and a conjecture on ideal, minimally nonpacking clutters.

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.
