Abstract
We extend tree-based typed Genetic Programming (GP) representation schemes by introducing System F, an expressive λ-calculus, for representing programs and types. At the level of programs, System F provides higher-order programming capabilities with functions and types as first-class objects, e.g., functions can take other functions and types as parameters. At the level of types, System F provides parametric polymorphism. The expressiveness of the system provides the potential for a genetic programming system to evolve looping, recursion, lists, trees and many other typical programming structures and behavior. This is done without introducing additional external symbols in the set of predefined functions and terminals of the system. In fact, we actually remove programming structures such as if/then/else, which we replace by two abstraction operators. We also change the composition of parse trees so that they may directly include types.

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
