Abstract
Achieving instantaneous centimetre-level 3D accuracy for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) multi-constellation, multi-frequency Precise Point Positioning (PPP) with ambiguity resolution without local augmentation poses significant challenges due to multipath, atmospheric refraction, and hardware noise. This research reduces York-PPP engine limitations by separating the BeiDou-2 and BeiDou-3 GNSS constellations clock terms in the design matrix and expanding the uncombined Decoupled Clock Model from triple to quadruple frequency measurements for BeiDou-3 constellation. Processing of geodetic measurements show overall horizontal positioning errors reduced by 77% (from 20.8 cm to 4.7 cm) and 88% (from 22.8 cm to 2.8 cm) for float and fixed solutions, respectively. Furthermore, this research investigates outliers in epoch-by-epoch PPP solutions, delving into potential causes such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), pseudorange multipath and noise etc. Additionally, principal component analysis with Hotelling’s T-squared method is employed to detect major outlier sources. Results indicate that satellite elevation angle, signal strength, and the code-minus-carrier observable, which includes ionospheric refraction and pseudorange multipath, significantly impact positioning solution.

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
