Abstract
Real time supervision is a technique for automatically detecting and reporting failures in the external behaviour of real time software systems. Failure detection is achieved by monitoring the target system's external inputs and outputs, in a 'black box' manner and comparing its behaviour with the formally specified behaviour of the system. The paper presents the Optimistic Path Prediction and Rollbacks (OPPR) approach to real time supervision. In this technique, the supervisor predicts a single likely behaviour of the target system and, if the observed behaviour does not match the prediction, rolls back and creates a new prediction of the legal behaviour. A failure is detected when the supervisor has explored all valid behaviours without matching the observed behaviour. The paper opens by introducing the field of real time supervision and examining existing techniques. The core of the paper presents the basic algorithm of the OPPR method, with an example to illustrate its operation. The paper closes by describing an evaluation system, summarizing the experimental results and examining the performance of the OPPR scheme.

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
