Abstract
By the time you read this column, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will have announced the recipients of this year's Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine, Physics, and Chemistry . The chances are good that computational science contributed to some of the prize-winning work. What tours de force of computational science deserve future Nobels? At the top of my list in medicine is the Human Genome Project. However, given Alfred Nobel's stipulation that no more than three people share a prize, the vast project could miss out. Particle physics discoveries typically involve Herculean feats of number crunching. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory's (SNO) confirmation in 2001 that neutrinos oscillate in flavor merits a physics prize, a share of which would presumably go to SNO's director, Art McDonald. In chemistry, I favor honoring Harvard's Martin Karplus for pioneering the use of molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the behavior of proteins and other biomolecules. By the time you read this column, you'll know if any of my predictions came true.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
