Abstract
A critical set in a latin square is a subset of its elements with the following properties: 1) No other latin square exists which also contains that subset. 2) No element may be deleted without destroying property 1. Let scs(n) denote the smallest possible cardinality of a critical set in an n × n latin square. It is conjectured that scs(n )= � n 2 /4� ,a nd that only the back-circulant latin square contains a critical set of this size. These conjectures have been proven for n ≤ 7. In this paper, we further conjecture that in a back-circulant latin square of size n> 4, the critical . . .. →

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
