Abstract
We study limit theorems for entropic optimal transport (EOT) maps, dual potentials, and the Sinkhorn divergence. The key technical tool we use is a first and second-order Hadamard differentiability analysis of EOT potentials with respect to the marginals, which may be of independent interest. Given the differentiability results, the functional delta method is used to obtain central limit theorems for empirical EOT potentials and maps. The second-order functional delta method is leveraged to establish the limit distribution of the empirical Sinkhorn divergence under the null. Building on the latter result, we further derive the null limit distribution of the Sinkhorn independence test statistic and characterize the correct order. Since our limit theorems follow from Hadamard differentiability of the relevant maps, as a byproduct, we also obtain bootstrap consistency and asymptotic efficiency of the empirical EOT map, potentials, and Sinkhorn divergence.

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
