Abstract
Collections of chemically propelled nanomotors free to move in solution can form dynamic clusters with diverse properties as a result of interactions through hydrodynamic flow and concentration fields, as well as direct intermolecular interactions between motors. Here, we study the collective rotational behavior of pinned sphere-dimer motors where direct motor-motor interactions play no role. Since the centers of mass of the motors are pinned, they cannot execute directed translational motion, but they can pump fluid and rotate; thus, the rotors remain coupled through hydrodynamic and chemical fields. Using a microscopic simulation method that accounts for coupling through both these fields, we show that different rotor configurations with a high degree of correlation exist and their forms depend on the nature of the fluid-rotor interactions. The correlations are greatly reduced or completely destroyed when the chemical interactions are removed, indicating that hydrodynamic coupling, while present, plays a lesser role in determining the collective rotor dynamics. These conclusions are supported by Langevin dynamics simulations that neglect hydrodynamics and include an approximate form of coupling through chemical fields.

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
