Abstract
The overall article presents the authors' vision of the emerging field of spacetime metamaterials, and related systems, in a cohesive and pedagogical perspective, systematically building up the physics, modeling, and applications of these media upon the foundation of their pure-space and pure-time counterparts. Following the first part, dealing with the general concepts underpinning spacetime metamaterials, this part establishes the theory of spacetime metamaterials and overviews some of their current and potential applications. It first describes the scattering phenomenology of a spacetime interface, the building brick of any spacetime metamaterial, and deduces the corresponding electromagnetic boundary conditions. Upon this basis, it derives the spacetime interface scattering (Fresnel-like) coefficients and frequency transitions, and subsequently generalizes time reversal to spacetime compansion (compression and expansion). Then, it illustrates the new physics of spacetime metamaterials with the examples of spacetime mirrors and cavities, the inverse prism and chromatic birefringence, and spacetime crystals. Next, it discusses various applications-categorized as frequency multiplication and mixing, matching and filtering, nonreciprocity and absorption, cloaking, electromagnetic processing, and radiation. Finally, the conclusion section provides a list of eight items that concisely summarizes the key results of this article, in completion to the list related to the general concepts in Part I.

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
