Abstract
The d -dimensional Λ-Fleming-Viot generator acting on functions g ( x ), with x being a vector of d allele frequencies, can be written as a Wright-Fisher generator acting on functions g with a modified random linear argument of x induced by partitioning occurring in the Λ-Fleming-Viot process. The eigenvalues and right polynomial eigenvectors are easy to see from this representation. The two-dimensional process, which has a one-dimensional generator, is considered in detail. A nonlinear equation is found for the Green's function. In a model with genic selection a proof is given that there is a critical selection value such that if the selection coefficient is greater than or equal to the critical value then fixation, when the boundary 1 is hit, has probability 1 beginning from any nonzero frequency. This is an analytic proof different from the proofs of Der, Epstein and Plotkin (2011) and Foucart (2013). An application in the infinitely-many-alleles Λ-Fleming-Viot process is finding an interesting identity for the frequency spectrum of alleles that is based on size biasing. The moment dual process in the Fleming-Viot process is the usual Λ-coalescent tree back in time. The Wright-Fisher representation using a different set of polynomials g n ( x ) as test functions produces a dual death process which has a similarity to the Kingman coalescent and decreases by units of one. The eigenvalues of the process are analogous to the Jacobi polynomials when expressed in terms of g n ( x ), playing the role of x n . Under the stationary distribution when there is mutation, is analogous to the n th moment in a beta distribution. There is a d -dimensional version g n ( X ), and even an intriguing Ewens' sampling formula analogy when d → ∞.

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
