Abstract
We prove results about the L p -almost-periodicity of convolutions. One of these follows from a simple but rather general lemma about approximating a sum of functions in L p , and gives a very short proof of a theorem of Green that if A and B are subsets of {1,. . ., N } of sizes α N and β N then A+B contains an arithmetic progression of length at least \begin{equation} \exp ( c (\alpha \beta \log N)^{1/2} - \log\log N). \end{equation} Another almost-periodicity result improves this bound for densities decreasing with N : we show that under the above hypotheses the sumset A+B contains an arithmetic progression of length at least \begin{equation} \exp\biggl( c \biggl(\frac{\alpha \log N}{\log^3 2\beta^{-1}} \biggr)^{1/2} - \log( \beta^{-1} \log N) \biggr). \end{equation}

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
