Abstract
Douglas Northcott was born Douglas Geoffrey Robertson, the son of Geoffrey Douglas Spence Robertson, who was an electrical engineer, and Clara Freda Behl. Geoffrey Robertson was killed in an accident soon after the young Douglas was born; Douglas was about 2 years old when his mother married Arthur Hugh Kynaston Northcott, and he grew up not knowing of his mother's remarriage. It was only in his teens that Douglas learnt that Arthur Northcott was, in fact, his stepfather; Douglas changed his surname by deed poll in 1935, and he always felt himself to be part of the Northcott family and referred to Arthur Northcott as his father.

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
