Abstract
This article presents the accomplishments of Chaim Selig Slonimski (1810-1904), an important but not sufficiently known figure in the history of calculating devices. The authors briefly discuss Slonimski's life and the recognition he achieved in the 19th century in both Prussia and Russia as well as his patents, financing attempts, similarities to the work of others, and a detailed account of his adding devices of 1845 and 1846. The authors claim that Slonimski invented more calculating devices than it is currently known and present a recently discovered exemplar of one of these devices. They found that Slonimski invented at least two different adding devices and three different multiplying devices and designed a machine to calculate logarithms.

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
