Abstract
Graph-based data structures have emerged as a fundamental tool across a wide range of applications, offering an intuitive and powerful way to visualize, model, and analyze complex information systems. One notable application is the study of discrete movement patterns observed between defined key points or locations. By representing these movements as graph structures, underlying trends, identify benchmarks, and establish predictive models can be uncovered. Such analyses are crucial for understanding and modelling the behaviours of various populations, including individuals with movement or decision-making impairments, where tailored interventions or designs might be required. This paper provides an overview of graph-based methodologies employed in the literature to analyze and model movement data. Specifically, it focuses on three techniques: a) Markov Chains, which model probabilistic transitions and sequence dependencies within the movement data; b) PageRank, originally devisedm for web-page ranking but adapted here to evaluate importance of nodes within a movement graph and c) Graph Signal Processing, as an approach that facilitates the analysis of signals distributed over graph structures to detect patterns and anomalies. Each method is detailed and demonstrated through illustrative examples, highlighting its unique contributions to the study of movement patterns.

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
