Abstract
We derive and prove product and series representations of the gamma function using Newton interpolation. We then show how these equations can be used to construct better and better approximations to the gamma function by writing it as a product over the prime numbers. The series definition is also used to find a new representation for the Euler-Mascheroni constant, containing only rational terms. After that, we introduce a new pseudogamma function which we call the Lambda function. This function interpolates the factorial at the positive integers, the reciprocal factorial at the negative integers and converges for the entire real axis. Finally, we conjecture a novel series representation for the principal branch of the inverse gamma function Γ(y)=x.

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
