Abstract
An algorithm for generating host cladograms from parasite-host cladograms derived from parasite phylogenies, Phylogenetic Analysis for Comparing Trees (PACT), is described. PACT satisfies Assumption 0, that all the information in each parasite-host cladogram must be used in a co-evolutionary analysis, and that the host relationships depicted in the final host cladogram must be logically consistent with the phylogenetic relationships depicted in every part of every parasite-host cladogram used to construct the host cladogram. It accounts for cases of speciation by host switching and expansion of host range, and reticulated host relationships, in addition to co-speciation, sympatric speciation, and extinction in all input parasite-host cladograms, and does so without a priori weighting schemes and without a posteriori manipulation of the data.

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
