Abstract
By definition, technology must have a practical application; it must have a purpose. If that is true then progress is not an intrinsic property of the technology, but rather an extension of the purpose that those using it have defined. Consider the parallel with the publishing industry. Many times throughout history, the printed word has been used to incite revolution and change when it was most needed; it has been used to spread hatred and fear in some of history’s darkest times, and it has been used to for every conceivable use in between. It is a stark contrast to consider that National Geographic and Hustler are reflections of the exact same advancement.

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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
