Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The standard proof of NP-Hardness of 3DM provides a power-$4$ reduction of 3SAT to 3DM. In this note, we provide a linear-time reduction. Under the exponential time hypothesis, this reduction improves the runtime lower bound from $2^{o(\sqrt[4]{m})}$ (under the standard reduction) to $2^{o(m)}$.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
