Abstract
In this paper, we develop a direct formula for determining the coefficients in the canonical basis of the best polynomial of degree M that approximates a polynomial of degree N>M on a symmetric interval for the L2-norm. We also formally prove that using the formula is more computationally efficient than using a classical matrix multiplication approach and we provide an example to illustrate that it is more numerically stable than the classical approach.

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
