Abstract
Leroux has proved that unreachability in Petri nets can be witnessed by a Presburger separator, i.e. if a marking $\vec{m}_\text{src}$ cannot reach a marking $\vec{m}_\text{tgt}$, then there is a formula $\varphi$ of Presburger arithmetic such that: $\varphi(\vec{m}_\text{src})$ holds; $\varphi$ is forward invariant, i.e., $\varphi(\vec{m})$ and $\vec{m} \rightarrow \vec{m}'$ imply $\varphi(\vec{m}'$); and $\neg \varphi(\vec{m}_\text{tgt})$ holds. While these separators could be used as explanations and as formal certificates of unreachability, this has not yet been the case due to their worst-case size, which is at least Ackermannian, and the complexity of checking that a formula is a separator, which is at least exponential (in the formula size). We show that, in continuous Petri nets, these two problems can be overcome. We introduce locally closed separators, and prove that: (a) unreachability can be witnessed by a locally closed separator computable in polynomial time; (b) checking whether a formula is a locally closed separator is in NC (so, simpler than unreachability, which is P-complete). We further consider the more general problem of (existential) set-to-set reachability, where two sets of markings are given as convex polytopes. We show that, while our approach does not extend directly, we can efficiently certify unreachability via an altered Petri net.

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
