Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

<p>We model each 4<span class="math inline">\(\mathrm{\times}\)</span>4 magic square by encoding its 16 integers as magnitudes of repelling positive point charges on a fixed 2D lattice, evolved under Coulomb forces with linear damping and a harmonic pinning to anchor sites. We simulate all 880 magic squares and compare them with equally sized ensembles of random permutations of <span class="math inline">\(\{1,{\dots},16\}\)</span>. Three readouts differentiate the ensembles. (i) Final positions: magic cases form sixteen tight, index-specific clusters on an annulus, whereas random cases show broader arcs and central accumulation. (ii) Displacement–correlation structure: across cases, many pair-of-pairs of inter-index displacements in magic squares are near-linearly dependent; the random ensemble exhibits only moderate relationships, with |r| and R<span class="math inline">\(^2\)</span> distributions shifted to weaker correlation. (iii) Center potential: the Coulomb-type potential at the geometric center collapses to a single value at the anchors for all magic squares and remains narrowly distributed after dynamics, while random squares remain broad. Sensitivity analysis reveals a broad damping–stiffness region with high convergence, indicating that the results are robust to parameter choice.</p>

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
