Abstract
Given two $n$-vertex polygons, $P=(p_1, \ldots, p_n)$ lying in the $xy$-plane at $z=0$, and $P'=(p'_1, \ldots, p'_n)$ lying in the $xy$-plane at $z=1$, a banded surface is a triangulated surface homeomorphic to an annulus connecting $P$ and $P'$ such that the triangulation's edge set contains vertex disjoint paths $\pi_i$ connecting $p_i$ to $p'_i$ for all $i =1, \ldots, n$. The surface then consists of bands, where the $i$th band goes between $\pi_i$ and $\pi_{i+1}$. We give a polynomial-time algorithm to find a banded surface without Steiner points if one exists. We explore connections between banded surfaces and linear morphs, where time in the morph corresponds to the $z$ direction. In particular, we show that if $P$ and $P'$ are convex and the linear morph from $P$ to $P'$ (which moves the $i$th vertex on a straight line from $p_i$ to $p'_i$) remains planar at all times, then there is a banded surface without Steiner points.

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
