Abstract
Cocteau always dated his epiphany in the avant-garde to the shock of Stravinsky's revolutionary Le Sacre du Printemps . Diaghilev famously enjoined Cocteau in 1913: "Étonne-moi!" The most tantalizing of Cocteau's efforts to astonish was his proposed 1914 collaboration with Stravinsky, the ballet David , a work previously thought to have left few traces. But even before, Cocteau had embarked on the "molting" which he later credited as his true birth as an artist. Classed by its author as a novel, Le Potomak is part graphic fable, part somnambulant stream-of-consciousness, part compendium of inflammatory aphorisms or, as Cocteau himself declared, a "fever chart"—an aftershock reverie indebted to the composer of Le Sacre . This paper evaluates Le Potomak in the narrative of Cocteau's "astonishment" as an index of the understanding of the musical avant-garde in France during the first decades of the twentieth century.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
