Abstract
The Kitaev spin liquid is a long-sought state of matter, for which $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-RuCl${}_{3}$ has been a leading candidate since the observation of an apparently quantized thermal Hall effect at high magnetic field. In 2021, Gordon and Kee predicted a distinctive signature that must be present in the magnetic torque of such a Kitaev system. The authors of this paper report torque measurements that, after accounting for unexpected signals associated with magnetic order, do not show this predicted signature.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
