Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract. We develop a procedure to calculate good upper bounds on the entropy of Glass networks (a class of piecewise-linear ordinary differential equations) by means of symbolic representations of the continuous dynamics. Our method improves on a result by Farcot (2006) and allows in principle arbitrary refinements of the estimate, and we show that in the limiting case, these estimates converge to the true entropy of the symbolic system corresponding to the continuous dynamics. As a check on the method, we demonstrate for an example network that our upper bound after only a few refinement steps is close to the entropy estimated from a long numerical simulation. This procedure could be applied to estimating entropy of free-running electronic circuits built from standard Boolean logic gates, which can be modeled by Glass networks.

Not 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.
