Abstract
This paper presents a novel haptic temporal bone surgery simulator. Temporal bone surgery is challenging as anatomic structures are complex and encased within bone. The new simulator is designed to train surgical residents permitting virtual practice of complex patient specific procedures before actual surgery is performed. The simulation employs voxels for collision detection and bone removal. It is designed to run on multicore computers that allow it to render changes in the temporal bone using Marching Cubes and Laplacian HC smoothing, in real time. This approach allows the use of consumer level hardware to display the simulation in stereo 3D, and serves as a vehicle for several new training tools, now incorporated into the simulation. Future plans include trials of validity, efficacy and cost effective integration into training and surgical rehearsal.

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
