Abstract
The History and Simulation/Gaming special issue should be understood as being bi-directional. The historical theme refers to the use of games and simulations, to the study of history, and to the place of history—or perhaps, simply the dimension of time and change—in the use and design of games. Historians in universities, designers and players of the well-known historical games, and the gamers who read and contribute to this journal seem to belong to distinct classes. This special issue, a modest undertaking in length and scope, is an attempt to bridge the chasm between the two classes. A sense of history can be a source of strength, intellectual or otherwise. The articles in this special issue are an opportunity for historians, gamers, and historical gamers to briefly connect.

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
