Abstract
Most of the known algorithms can render images very quickly, however, only few of them are suitable for real-time volume rendering, and among them the shear-warp factorization is the most promising method. In this paper the shearing unit has been built and implemented in VHDL. The entire unit has a module structure, which can be easily modified and adjusted to any size of data set and its representation. The design contains two derived parts: standard image module and intermediate image module. Each part, in turn, consist of the controller (or control path) and the data path. Both controllers are composed concurrently and synchronized by two in/out signals. The volume slice is performed as the bitstream of voxels' stack. Each voxel is multiplied by scaling coefficients of the transformation matrix, which is chosen respectively to the viewing axis, then added to the intermediate image and packed into registers.

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
