Abstract
Adaptation to prevailing stimuli is a ubiquitous property of the visual system that optimizes its dynamic range. The perceived difference in orientation of successively presented lines of similar orientation is exaggerated and the perceived shape of an object is influenced by previously experienced shapes. Change in perceived shape is assumed to arise through the adaptation of shape detectors. Here we consider an alternative: adaptation within a substrate of local oriented line detectors resulting in enhanced shape contrast in similar shapes. We show that the perceived shapes of a spatially coincident circle and Cartesian grid can be manipulated independently by adaptation to geometrically transformed copies of themselves. The same transformation was applied to the circle and the grid to create the adaptors; therefore, the specificity of the effects of adaptation demonstrates that the visual system adapts to the shape of objects rather than applying transformations to the reference frame of the visual field. The tilt aftereffect predicts local changes in perceived orientation, and fields of such local effects can often account for the global change in perceived shape of complex objects, including faces.

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
