Abstract
In a world where intelligence can be arguably measured by an animal's ability to use tools, are we marking ourselves for natural selection? Software development tools are steadily becoming easier to use, but these same tools are becoming so "helpful" that they can actually do more harm than good. Tools are supposed to help evolve and adapt systems - ironically however, they are often too rigid to be able to evolve and adapt themselves. This study considers three key approaches that can be simultaneously employed within adaptive system infrastructure: patch files, preprocessor directives, and aspects. Their synergies and interoperability characteristics are outlined, and the design of what we believe to be necessary for integrated tool support is established based on evidence gathered from OS and VM infrastructure software. Interoperable system infrastructure support (ISIS) is proposed as a tool that can better evolve and adapt according to a system's needs

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
