Abstract
A Laplacian eigenfunction on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold provides a natural partition into Neumann domains (a.k.a. a Morse--Smale complex). This partition is generated by gradient flow lines of the eigenfunction, which bound the so-called Neumann domains. We prove that the Neumann Laplacian defined on a Neumann domain is self-adjoint and has a purely discrete spectrum. In addition, we prove that the restriction of an eigenfunction to any one of its Neumann domains is an eigenfunction of the Neumann Laplacian. By comparison, similar statements about the Dirichlet Laplacian on a nodal domain of an eigenfunction are basic and well-known. The difficulty here is that the boundary of a Neumann domain may have cusps and cracks, so standard results about Sobolev spaces are not available. Another very useful common fact is that the restricted eigenfunction on a nodal domain is the first eigenfunction of the Dirichlet Laplacian. This is no longer true for a Neumann domain. Our results enable the investigation of the resulting spectral position problem for Neumann domains, which is much more involved than its nodal analogue.

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
