Abstract
Visiting Roi on Wednesday evenings became a regular feature of my weeks in Vancouver over the winter. His health had been declining steadily since January so that eventually elementary conversation became impossible. Still, in appearance and outward attitude he remained recognizably Roi. At one point during my last visit, he was experiencing a high degree of agitation and wanted desperately to verbalize it. Finally, he let fly a very audible profanity and sank back into his chair. A little later, he became restless again. One of his caregivers and I lifted him to his feet to take him for a walk across the room. Perhaps not liking all the assistance he was being given but needed, he dug his elbow into my ribs! Assertive to the end! That was our Roi. He died a week later.

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
