Abstract
BACKGROUND: The history of gene families-which are equivalent to event-labeled gene trees-can to some extent be reconstructed from empirically estimated evolutionary event-relations containing pairs of orthologous, paralogous or xenologous genes. The question then arises as whether inferred event-labeled gene trees are "biologically feasible" which is the case if one can find a species tree with which the gene tree can be reconciled in a time-consistent way. RESULTS: In this contribution, we consider event-labeled gene trees that contain speciations, duplications as well as horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and we assume that the species tree is unknown. Although many problems become NP-hard as soon as HGT and time-consistency are involved, we show, in contrast, that the problem of finding a time-consistent species tree for a given event-labeled gene can be solved in polynomial-time. We provide a cubic-time algorithm to decide whether a "time-consistent" species tree for a given event-labeled gene tree exists and, in the affirmative case, to construct the species tree within the same time-complexity.

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
