Abstract
This paper presents “FreeGlass”, a hands-free user-buildable wearable computer system based on Mann's “Digital Eye Glass” (also known as EyeTap) concept developed 35 years ago. Like Mann's “Eye Glass”, FreeGlass is based on free and Open Source principles consistent with a free and open i-Society. FreeGlass is suitable for researchers and creators of AR (Augmediated Reality) Glass, LifeGlogging, etc. in the information society. Two example applications of FreeGlass are also presented: Reality User Interface; and “ALIBEye”, a digital alibi through sousveillance (inverse surveillance). We note the potential for FreeGlass to bring about a transition from a surveillance society (cameras affixed to land and buildings), to a sousveillance-society (cameras held, carried, or worn by individuals). Important elements of a balanced sur/sous-veillance society are also presented with a view toward a middle-ground between a surveillance-only society where large entities record interactions but forbid individuals from keeping their own record of their sensory information, and the coming sousveillance society in which individuals are also equipped with veillance capacity, and the capacity to capture AND authenticate their own recordings as digital alibis.

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
