Abstract
The complexity of prokaryotic and, exceedingly, of eukaryotic cells, challenges the implementation of methodologies to quantify intracellular dynamics. Although stochastic thermodynamics can effectively quantify the energetics of single proteins or complexes, there is no statistical approach to determine the macrostate of a whole cell from its subcellular microstates. The objective of this study is to test if Onsager reciprocity, a coupling between thermodynamic flows, occurs between time-dependent intracellular processes based on their measurements in previous studies. A prototypical thermodynamic profile of the cell is formulated as a model system to enable representation of its sub systems as force-driven thermodynamic flows. Onsager reciprocity is validated on the bacterial flagellum and ATP synthase. It is then tested on the putative coupling between the contractile ring and treadmilling of the cytoskeleton in bacterial binary fission and eukaryotic cytokinesis, with opposite outcomes. All thermodynamic flows and forces are formulated to comply with their canonical definitions.

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
