Abstract
During their long propagation, neutrinos undergo flavour conversions. High-energy astrophysical neutrinos propagate unperturbed over a billion light years in vacuum and are potentially sensitive to small effects caused by new physics. For instance, they are sensitive to the effects of quantum gravity, which are expected to be suppressed by inverse powers of the Planck energy in our low-energy scales. Measuring the coupling of particles to such small effects is difficult via kinematic observables, but could be observable through flavour conversions. Here, we report a recent result from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, which uses astrophysical neutrino flavours to search for new space-time structure. We found no evidence of anomalous flavour conversion in the IceCube astrophysical neutrino flavour data. Our analysis yielded the most stringent constraint of any known technologies, down to 10$^{-42}$~GeV$^{-2}$ on dimension-six operators that parametrize the interactions of neutrinos with new fields in vacuum with Bayes factor corresponding to a ``strong'' rejection.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
