Abstract
We propose a novel method of implementing fuzzy logic operations in digital hardware using bit-serial arithmetic. In this approach, signals in a fuzzy system are represented as bit-serial vectors, and manipulated using bit-serial techniques. The advantages of the bit-serial representation are a very simple implementation of min and max operations, and the ability to control the precision of a computation in time, rather than in silicon area. We present a prototype architecture for a fuzzy controller utilizing bit-serial computations, which is implemented in an FPGA. On a Altera Stratix II EP1S80B956C6 FPGA we achieve a throughput of 5.265 million inferences per second, at a clock rate of 94.77 MHz. LUT utilization is approximately 1% of the FPGA device.

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
