Finitary codings for the random-cluster model and other infinite-range monotone models
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A random field X=(Xv)v∈G on a quasi-transitive graph G is a factor of an i.i.d. process if it can be written as X=φ(Y) for some i.i.d. process Y=(Yv)v∈G and equivariant map φ. Such a map, also called a coding, is finitary if, for every vertex v∈G, there exists a finite (but random) set U⊂G such that Xv is determined by {Yu}u∈U. We construct a coding for the random-cluster model on G, and show that the coding is finitary whenever the free and wired measures coincide. This strengthens a result of Häggström–Jonasson–Lyons [18]. We also prove that the coding radius has exponential tails in the subcritical regime. As a corollary, we obtain a similar coding for the subcritical Potts model. Our methods are probabilistic in nature, and at their heart lies the use of coupling-from-the-past for the Glauber dynamics. These methods apply to any monotone model satisfying mild technical (but natural) requirements. Beyond the random-cluster and Potts models, we describe two further applications – the loop O(n) model and long-range Ising models. In the case of G= Zd, we also construct finitary, translation-equivariant codings using a finite-valued i.i.d. process Y. To do this, we extend a mixing-time result of Martinelli–Olivieri [22] to infinite-range monotone models on quasi-transitive graphs of sub-exponential growth.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
