Abstract
The process of accomplishing strategic objectives by concentrating on effects as opposed to attrition-based destruction is known as effects-based operations, or EBO. Finding important nodes in an adversary network is a critical step in the EBO process for a successful implementation. In this paper, propose a network-based method to identify the most influential nodes by combining network centrality and optimization. To determine the node influence, the adversary's network structure is analyzed using degree and between centralities. Given the dynamic nature of the adversary network struct[1]ure and the centrality results, an optimization model that takes resource constraints into account chooses the key nodes. Our findings demonstrate that various network properties, such as between and degree centralities, influence the priorities of nodes as targets, and that using an optimization model yields better priorities with decreasing marginal properties. There is a discussion of the implications for theory and sensible decision-making.

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
