Notes on relative equilibria of isosceles molecules in classical approximation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We study a classical model of isosceles triatomic “A-B-A” molecules. The atoms, considered mass points, interact mutually via a generic repulsive-attractive binary potential. First we show that the steady states, or relative equilibria (RE), corresponding to rotations about the molecule symmetry axis may be determined qualitatively assuming the knowledge of (1) the shape of the binary interaction potential, (2) the equilibrium diatomic distances (i.e., the equilibrium bond length) of the A-A and A-B molecules, and (3) the distance at which the RE of the diatomic A-A molecule ceases to exist. No analytic expression for the interaction potentials is needed. Second we determine the stability of the isosceles RE modulo rotations using geometric mechanics methods and using Lennard-Jones diatomic potentials. As a by-product, we verify the qualitative results on RE existence and bifurcation. For isosceles RE, we employ the Reduced Energy-Momentum method presented by Marsden [Lectures in Mechanics (Cambridge University Press, 1992)], whereas for linear (trivial isosceles) RE, we introduce the Symplectic Slice method, a technique based on the findings in the paper of Roberts et al. [J. Geom. Phys. 56, 762 (2006)].

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
