Abstract
Radio-wave propagation in tunnels and mines can be qualitatively understood by representing these environments as overmoded waveguides. Waveguide models are fast and intuitive, but the accurate prediction of the propagation characteristics of realistic geometries is beyond their scope. Such predictions can be derived by computationally intensive techniques, such as ray-tracing and vector parabolic equation (VPE) methods. This paper combines the two approaches, to extract surrogate models of arched tunnels in the form of rectangular waveguides. The parameters of the latter are optimized to match their propagation characteristics to those of the original arched tunnel, as predicted by the VPE method. The accuracy and limitations of these surrogate models are thoroughly evaluated. Their practical usefulness is demonstrated in an application where they are iteratively used, in lieu of the original computationally costly arched tunnel model, to optimally distribute the access points of an in-tunnel wireless communication system.

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
