Abstract
In classic AI research on combining logic and probability, Halpern introduced an inference principle for marginal probabilities of ground atoms: If the corresponding population frequency is known, the marginal probability should be equal to it. For instance, if the only thing we know about Tweety is that Tweety is a bird, then the probability that Tweety flies should be the frequency of flyers in the class of birds. We provide several arguments for why a statistical-relational inference system should satisfy Halpern’s principle. If the principle is accepted, the technical challenge is then to construct inference models to meet this specification. The technical part of the paper gives examples of structures and parameterizations that do and do not satisfy the constraint on marginal probabilities, using Parametrized Bayes nets. 1.

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
