Abstract
The k-independence number of a graph, k (G), is the maximum size of a set of vertices at pairwise distance greater than k, or alternatively, the independence number of the k-th power graph G k . Although it is known that k (G) = (G k ), this, in general, does not hold for most graph products, and thus the existing bounds for of graph products cannot be used. In this paper we present sharp upper bounds for the k-independence number of several graph products. In particular, we focus on the Cartesian, tensor, strong, and lexicographic products. Some of the bounds previously known in the literature for k = 1 follow as corollaries of our main results.

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
