Abstract
Students interested in studying scripts might have a variety of goals and requirements, in part depending on whether they are actors, directors, or literary scholars. In each case, the needs of the students differ slightly, although all are typically involved both in reading the text and watching performances. This paper describes the design of an online system that introduces another alternative for all three groups: the ability to watch the script play itself out dynamically on a virtual stage. By combining this virtual playback with a number of tools for selecting relevant passages and controlling the motion, as well as drawing on any available encoding in the text, this online prototype will have the potential to provide an instructional experience that brings together some of the best features from the printed page and the live staged or filmed production.

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
