Abstract
To mitigate the persistent lateral oscillation of a rowing boat, various asymmetric rig designs have been implemented, even in Olympic competitions. Previous theoretical studies have operated under the unrealistic assumption that all rowers possess identical strength. This paper advances previous findings by scrutinizing the scenario where rowers exhibit heterogeneous strengths. Our study unveils a novel rig design feature: among the four designs for an eight-rower boat proposed by Barrow (2010), the design “uddu duud” uniquely satisfies the equilibrium condition for angular moments. This design is different from the German rig, “udud dudu,” utilized by Team Canada to win the Men’s Eight at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Furthermore, we enhance the analysis by incorporating stochastic noises.

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
