Abstract
The article identifies and investigates the semiotic and aesthetic nature of a specific type of artistic images, which can be called mathematical. In the theoretical part, based on known works of Russian and World literature, an analytical justification of the figurative structures assigned to this type is carried out, their independence is proved, which allows us to distinguish them from adjacent concepts — “the image of a number” and “numerical image”, the use of which already has its formed historical-literary tradition. The practical part of the article is devoted to a consistent analysis of the main mathematical images in the novel Life of Pi by the Canadian bilingual writer Y. Martel. The symbolism generated by these images contributes to revealing the mythological code of the main character’s name, structuring the novel chronotope, clarifying the dominant motif of the story, which is intended to illustrate the inner evolution of the protagonist. To generalize the relationship between the character and the surrounding world presented by Martell, a figurative formula is proposed whereby the image of the human in a literary text is derived from the ratio of spatio-temporal unity to the verbalized perception of this unity, deducted from the point of view. Implicitly contained in Life of Pi, the mathematical analogue of such formula is an identity expressing the algorithm of finding the constant “tau”. The latter one, being related to novel’s key concept of circle, is the mathematical symbol by which the author achieves a tense dynamic of the plot, affecting both physical and spiritual plans. Also, with the help of a geometric model (ellipse with increasing compression factor), the parable nature of the work is visualized and its motive logic is interpreted. The article ends with a review of the physical-philosophical problems of time outlined by the writer — the problem of the present moment and anisotropy, which, with some degree of conventionality, can be considered from the perspective of literary criticism.

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
