Abstract
Reservoir computing leverages the dynamic properties of a fixed, randomly connected neural network to facilitate simplified training and enhanced computational efficiency. Many forms of physical reservoir computers have been proposed. In this paper, we use a three-dimensional (3D)-printed reservoir computer as the design environment, develop analytic models to describe its performance, and validate the models through simulations. This approach offers practical insights for designing physical reservoirs with targeted computational capabilities and enables the assessment of the influence of reservoir parameters such as scale or material choice, on performance metrics, including speed and power consumption. Additionally, the proposed approach may be employed to optimally design physical reservoir computers to solve specific problems. This work contributes to the understanding of physical RC systems by providing a detailed analysis of the physical basis that connects computational performance with multidomain physical interactions at the device level. The methods and results from this work not only propel the development of future 3D-printed physical RC systems but also serves as a framework for evaluating and designing diverse physical RC models based on other approaches.

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
