Abstract
We propose a method to efficiently compute the scattered electric field of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) for multiple configurations. In contrast to most existing methods that assume that each unit cell scatters an incident wave individually instead of collectively, our method accounts for the mutual coupling of unit cells. This allows us to estimate the scattered fields in the main scattering direction of an RIS, at an accuracy that is comparable to full-wave analysis. Furthermore, combined with ray tracing, the computed scattered fields can be used to model wave propagation in realistic, multipath radio environments with RISs. Hence, our method efficiently addresses three critical considerations for the analysis of RIS-enabled links: mutual coupling between unit cells of an RIS, multipath effects in the channel due to the RIS acting as a diffuse scatterer, and the variability of the RIS scattering properties that requires extensive computational effort to account for.

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
