Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We give a technique that can be used to prove that a given function is a measurement. We demonstrate its applicability by using it to resolve three notoriously difficult cases: capacity in information theory, entropy in quantum mechanics and global time in general relativity. We then show that this technique provides a new and surprising characterization of measurement. Thus, in principle, it can always be used.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
