Abstract
Rats were trained to locate food on a plus maze that was moved between 2 locations. The food was in a fixed location relative to room cues but the maze, and the animals' start point, were either translated (shifted to the left or right) or rotated (by 90 degrees or 45 degrees ) across trials. Rats started from the same or different places solved the problem if they headed in a direction different from the start point. Rats started from different places were impaired if they headed in the same direction, suggesting that orientation is more important than start point for successful performance. The same pattern of results was obtained when rats were trained inside a curtained enclosure, suggesting that orientation is not derived solely from a view of distal visual cues while on the maze. It appears that rats use their heading, or direction of movement, to guide their responses at a choice point.

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
