Abstract
Sensory stimuli often have rich temporal and spatial structure. One class of stimuli that are common to visual and auditory systems and, as we show, the electrosensory system are signals that contain power in a narrow range of temporal (or spatial) frequencies. Characteristic of this class of signals is a slower variation in their amplitude, otherwise known as an envelope. There is evidence suggesting that, in the visual cortex, both narrowband stimuli and their envelopes are coded for in separate and parallel streams. The implementation of this parallel transmission is not well understood at the cellular level. We have identified the cellular basis for the parallel transmission of signal and envelope in the electrosensory system: a two-cell network consisting of an interneuron connected to a pyramidal cell by means of a slow synapse. This circuit could, in principle, be implemented in the auditory or visual cortex by the previously identified biophysics of cortical interneurons.

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
