Abstract
The behavior of partially ionized hot compressed matter is critical to the study of planetary interiors as well as nuclear fusion studies. A recent quantum study of carbon in the 10-70 Gbar range and at a temperature of 100 eV used N-atom density functional theory (DFT) with N∼32-64 and molecular dynamics (MD). This involves band-structure-type electronic calculations and averaging over many MD-generated ion configurations. The calculated average number of free electrons per ion, viz., Z[over ¯], was systematically higher than from a standard average-atom quantum calculation. To clarify this offset, we examine the effect of the self-interaction error in such estimates and the possibility of carbon being in a granular plasma state containing Coulomb crystals with a magic number. The electrical conductivity, pressure, and compressibility of the carbon system are examined. The very low conductivity and the high-Z[over ¯] results of DFT MD point to the existence of carbon in a complex, nonuniform, low-conducting dispersed phase, possibly containing magic-number Coulomb crystals. The neutral pseudoatom estimate of Z[over ¯], conductivity, compressibility, and pressure reported here pertain to the uniform liquid.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
