Abstract
We analyze the stability of a differential equation with two delays originating from a model for a population divided into two subpopulations, immature and mature, and we apply this analysis to a model for platelet production. The dynamics of mature individuals is described by the following nonlinear differential equation with two delays: $ x'(t) = -\gamma x(t) + g(x(t-\tau_1)) - g(x(t-\tau_1 - \tau_2)) e^{-\gamma \tau_2} $. The method of D-decomposition is used to compute the stability regions for a given equilibrium. The centre manifold theory is used to investigate the steady-state bifurcation and the Hopf bifurcation. Similarly, analysis of the centre manifold associated with a double bifurcation is used to identify a set of parameters such that the solution is a torus in the pseudo-phase space. Finally, the results of the local stability analysis are used to study the impact of an increase of the death rate $ \gamma $ or of a decrease of the survival time $ \tau_2 $ of platelets on the onset of oscillations. We show that the stability is lost through a small decrease of survival time (from 8.4 to 7 days), or through an important increase of the death rate (from 0.05 to 0.625 days$ ^{-1} $).

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
