Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the performance of grammar-based codes for sources with countably infinite alphabets. Let /spl Lambda/ denote an arbitrary class of stationary, ergodic sources with a countably infinite alphabet. It is shown that grammar-based codes can be modified so that they are universal with respect to any /spl Lambda/ if and only if there exists a universal code for /spl Lambda/. Moreover, upper bounds on the worst case redundancies of grammar-based codes among large sets of length-n individual sequences from a countably infinite alphabet are established. Depending upon the conditions satisfied by length-n individual sequences, these bounds range from O(loglogn/logn) to O(1/log/sup 1-/spl alpha//n) for some 0</spl alpha/<1. These results complement the previous universality and redundancy results in the literature on the performance of grammar-based codes for sources with finite alphabets.

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
