Abstract
This article reviews state-of-the-art periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) in finite difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations that operate by enforcing constant wave vector components. The mathematical principles and 3D FDTD implementation details are systematically outlined. Techniques for extracting scattering parameters, Brillouin diagrams, and attenuation constants are presented along with the array scanning method (ASM) used to model the interaction of nonperiodic sources with periodic structures. Through these techniques, the robustness, utility, and efficiency of PBCs are demonstrated and a unified view of the various approaches to the FDTD implementation of PBCs is presented.

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
