Abstract
An $α$-thin tree $T$ of a graph $G$ is a spanning tree such that every cut of $G$ has at most an $α$ proportion of its edges in $T$. The Thin Tree Conjecture proposes that there exists a function $f$ such that for any $α> 0$, every $f(α)$-edge-connected graph has an $α$-thin tree. Aside from its independent interest, an algorithm which could efficiently construct an $O(1)/k$-thin tree for a given $k$-edge-connected graph would directly lead to an $O(1)$-approximation algorithm for the asymmetric travelling salesman problem (ATSP)(arXiv:0909.2849). However, it was not even known whether it is possible to efficiently verify that a given tree is $α$-thin. We prove that determining the thinness of a tree is coNP-hard.

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
