Abstract
AbstractPlacenames can only really fulfill their roles when they unambiguously identify the location of the places they designate. The development of new information technology makes this objective almost essential. For this reason, the United Nations Conferences on the Standardization of Geographical Names have recommended a program to reduce exonyms. Is this to say that all traditional forms should be eliminated? The answer is both yes and no. If one refers to official documents, such as maps, transportation schedules, and road signs, then the reduction of exonyms must be considered a necessity. However, much of the geographic, historical and psychosocial materials favor the retention of large numbers of traditional names created for the places with which people are acquainted. The standardization of placenames must facilitate modern living; but in doing so it must not erase toponymic heritage.

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
