Abstract
We present three measurements of the top-quark mass in the lepton plus jets channel with approximately $1.9\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the CDF II detector using quantities with minimal dependence on the jet energy scale. One measurement exploits the transverse decay length of $b$-tagged jets to determine a top-quark mass of ${166.9}_{\ensuremath{-}8.5}^{+9.5}(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2.9(\mathrm{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/{c}^{2}$, and another the transverse momentum of electrons and muons from $W$-boson decays to determine a top-quark mass of ${173.5}_{\ensuremath{-}8.9}^{+8.8}(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}3.8(\mathrm{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/{c}^{2}$. These quantities are combined in a third, simultaneous mass measurement to determine a top-quark mass of $170.7\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}6.3(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2.6(\mathrm{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/{c}^{2}$.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
