Abstract
While discrete harmonic functions have been objects of interest for quite some time, this is not the case for discrete polyharmonic functions, as appear for instance in the asymptotics of path counting problems. In this article, a novel method to compute all discrete polyharmonic functions in the quarter plane for non-singular models with small steps and zero drift is proposed. In case of a finite group, an alternative method using decoupling functions is given, which often leads to a basis consisting of rational functions. In a similar manner one can obtain polyharmonic functions in the continuous setting, and convergence between the discrete and continuous cases is proven. Lastly, using a concrete example it is shown why the decoupling approach seems not to work in the infinite group case.

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
