Abstract
In this article we determine feasible parameter sets for (what could potentially be) commutative association schemes with noncyclotomic eigenvalues that are of smallest possible rank and order. A feasible parameter set for a commutative association scheme corresponds to a standard integral table algebra with integral multiplicities that satisfies all of the parameter restrictions known to hold for association schemes. For each rank and involution type, we generate an algebraic set for which any suitable integral solution corresponds to a standard integral table algebra with integral multiplicities, and then try to find the smallest suitable solution. The main results of this paper show the eigenvalues of association schemes of rank 4 and nonsymmetric association schemes of rank 5 will always be cyclotomic. In the rank 5 cases, the results rely on calculations done by computer for Gröbner bases or for bases of rational vector spaces spanned by polynomials. We give several examples of feasible parameter sets for small symmetric association schemes of rank 5 that have noncyclotomic eigenvalues.

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
