Abstract
Spectral methods can solve elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) numerically with errors bounded by an exponentially decaying function of the number of modes when the solution is analytic. For time-dependent problems, almost all focus has been on low-order finite difference schemes for the time derivative and spectral schemes for the spatial derivatives. This mismatch destroys the spectral convergence of the numerical solution. Spectral methods that converge spectrally in both space and time have appeared recently. This paper shows that a Chebyshev spectral collocation method of Tang and Xu for the heat equation converges exponentially when the solution is analytic. We also derive a condition number estimate of the global spectral operator. Another space-time Chebyshev collocation scheme that is easier to implement is proposed and analyzed. This paper is a continuation of the first author's earlier paper in which two Legendre space-time collocation methods were analyzed.

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
