Abstract
Special finite sums of the even powers P of the cosecant and of the secant are studied,∑k csc2m(kπ/N) and ∑k sec2m (kπ/N), with positive integers N ≥ 3, m and 1 ≥ k ≥ N/2 . The main result of this article is that these power sums are even polynomials in N, of order 2m, whose coefficients are rational. The approach is based on new differential identities for the functions csc2z and sec2z. The Mittag-Leffler expansions for these functions are invoked and the corresponding infinite series are summed to give closed form expressions for the desired sums. Specific polynomial coefficients are obtained, for 1 ≤ m ≤ 6 and for all N ≥ 3, to illustrate the method. Similar sums involving the cotangent and the tangent are also examined.

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
