Abstract
This report concerns the interesting clinical phenomenology of a 17-year-old Ethiopian female student with a long-standing history of ingesting nonnutritive materials. She was initially non-selective, but later began more exclusively consuming mud obtained from a wall in front of her house. She suffered from a feeding and eating disorder known as pica. Currently, there is no clearly established etiology for pica. This patient's particular psychopathology—recurrent, unwanted, intrusive images and thoughts of the mud wall and of eating the mud; feelings of distress and anxiousness that were not relieved unless she consumed mud; and significant effects on her daily life from her uncontrollable need to return home to eat mud from her wall—suggests an ego-dystonic, obsessive thought-distress-consumption-relief pattern that is consistent with obsessive-compulsive disorder. This case may contribute to the etiological understanding that some forms of pica may be part of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders.

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
