Abstract
In this paper, we connect a molecular description of the rheology of a polymeric liquid to a continuum description, and then test this connection for large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) flow. Specifically, for the continuum description, we use the 6-constant Oldroyd framework, and for the molecular, we use the simplest relevant molecular model, the suspension of rigid dumbbells. By relevant, we mean predicting at least higher harmonics in the shear stress response in LAOS. We call this connection a molecular continuum, and we examine two ways of arriving at this connection. The first goes through the retarded motion expansion, and the second expands each of a set of specific material functions (complex, steady shear, and steady uniaxial extensional viscosities). Both ways involve in comparing the coefficients of expansions and then solve for the six constants of the continuum framework in terms of the two constants of the rigid dumbbell suspension. The purpose of a molecular continuum is that many well-known results for rigid dumbbell suspensions in other flow fields can also be easily obtained, without having to firstly find the orientation distribution function. In this paper, we focus on the recent result for the rigid dumbbell suspension in LAOS. We compare the accuracies of the retarded motion molecular continuum (RMMC) with the material function molecular continuum (MFMC). We find the RMMC to be the most accurate for LAOS.

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
