Abstract
A system consists of a signal processing unit that has limited signal processing capabilities. Signal data entering the system constitute multiple segments that all have a corresponding deadline to be successfully processed or expires. The processing unit is able to offload data to a cloudlet with intermittent availability for remote processing. The goal in this system is to describe an optimal offloading policy. A Markov Decision Process (MDP) is used to model the aforementioned system and a Dynamic Programming (DP) equation is used to describe an optimal policy. This DP equation suffers from the "Curse of Dimensionality" which renders its computations intractable. A result is presented that allows one to evaluate this DP equation over a finite subset of the system state space. Properties of the optimal policy are described which can further reduce the computational load. Finally, numerical results are presented to verify the theoretical 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
