The principled-parameterized approach to gravitational collapse
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract New physics beyond General Relativity impacts black-hole spacetimes. The effects of new physics can be investigated in a largely theory-agnostic way by following the principled-parameterized approach. In this approach, a classical black-hole metric is upgraded by following a set of principles, such as regularity, i.e., the absence of curvature singularities. We expect these principles to hold in many theories beyond General Relativity. In the present paper, we implement this approach for time-dependent spacetimes describing gravitational collapse. We find that the Vaidya spacetime becomes regular through the same modification of the spacetime metric as stationary black-hole spacetimes [1–3]. We investigate null geodesics and find indications that the modification is even sufficient to render null geodesics future complete. Finally, we find that the modification of the spacetime structure results in violations of the null energy condition in a finite region inside the apparent horizon of the black hole that forms. Null geodesics are attracted to the boundary of this region, such that the new-physics effects are shielded from asymptotic observers. An exception occurs, if the classical spacetime has a naked singularity. Then, the upgraded spacetime is singularity-free and null geodesics from the regular core can escape towards asymptotic observers.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
