Abstract
A finite-dimensional quantum system is coupled to a bath of oscillators in thermal equilibrium at temperature<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>T</mml:mi><mml:mo>&#x003E;</mml:mo><mml:mn>0</mml:mn></mml:math>. We show that for fixed, small values of the coupling constant<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>&#x03BB;</mml:mi></mml:math>, the true reduced dynamics of the system is approximated by the completely positive, trace preserving Markovian semigroup generated by the Davies-Lindblad generator. The difference between the true and the Markovian dynamics is<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>O</mml:mi><mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo><mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"><mml:mo stretchy="false">|</mml:mo></mml:mrow><mml:mi>&#x03BB;</mml:mi><mml:msup><mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"><mml:mo stretchy="false">|</mml:mo></mml:mrow><mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"><mml:mn>1</mml:mn><mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"><mml:mo>/</mml:mo></mml:mrow><mml:mn>4</mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:msup><mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo></mml:math>for all times, meaning that the solution of the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad master equation is approximating the true dynamics to accuracy<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>O</mml:mi><mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo><mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"><mml:mo stretchy="false">|</mml:mo></mml:mrow><mml:mi>&#x03BB;</mml:mi><mml:msup><mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"><mml:mo stretchy="false">|</mml:mo></mml:mrow><mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"><mml:mn>1</mml:mn><mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"><mml:mo>/</mml:mo></mml:mrow><mml:mn>4</mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:msup><mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo></mml:math>for all times. Our method is based on a recently obtained expansion of the full system-bath propagator. It applies to reservoirs with correlation functions decaying in time as<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mn>1</mml:mn><mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"><mml:mo>/</mml:mo></mml:mrow><mml:msup><mml:mi>t</mml:mi><mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"><mml:mn>4</mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:msup></mml:math>or faster, which is a significant improvement relative to the previously required exponential decay.

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
