Abstract
We describe an algorithm for tracking an object using particle filtering in a sensor network comprised of smart dust-type motes. We investigate the situation where the motes are equipped with binary proximity sensors, low-power lasers and optical receivers for communication with nearby motes, and corner-cube arrays for communication with a central transceiver. The particle filter we describe is largely decentralized; a central transceiver performs no processing beyond a summation and weighted average. Individual motes act as the particles in that they represent candidate positions of the object. Propagation of the particle filter is performed through activation of appropriate neighbouring nodes with "weighted" messages. We provide simulation results of tracking a maneuvering object, comparing performance with a centralized particle filter

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
