Abstract
The lonely runner conjecture of Wills and Cusick, in its most popular formulation, asserts that if $n$ runners with distinct constant speeds run around a unit circle $\R/\Z$ starting at a common time and place, then each runner will at some time be separated by a distance of at least 1/(n+1) from the others. In this paper we make some remarks on this conjecture. Firstly, we can improve the trivial lower bound of 1/(2n) slightly for large n, to (1/(2n)) + (c \log n)/(n^2 (\log\log n)^2) for some absolute constant c>0; previous improvements were roughly of the form (1/(2n)) + c/n^2. Secondly, we show that to verify the conjecture, it suffices to do so under the assumption that the speeds are integers of size n^{O(n^2)}. We also obtain some results in the case when all the velocities are integers of size O(n).

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
