Abstract
This paper investigates the geometric patterns inherent in Arabic poetry rhythms, uncovering attributes that likely contribute to their historical popularity. Through comprehensive analysis, we identified a combination of computational geometric features that seem to correlate with defining a rhythm's attraction in Arabic poetry. These features can be used to generate similar but new appealing poetry rhythms. While there are multiple studies on the geometry of musical rhythms, our research offers a novel perspective by applying these geometric concepts to poetry rhythms, aiming to contribute to the understanding of rhythmic patterns across diverse creative domains. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first attempt to transfer the geometric analysis of rhythms to Arabic poetry rhythms. Moreover, our findings hint at potential connections between the rhythms of Arabic poetry and English song lyrics.

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
