Proust and madeleine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
“Involuntary memories are mental states that once present in consciousness, return to it with apparent spontaneity and with no act of will; that is, they are reproduced involuntarily.”1 In his book, author Marcel Proust wrote about a vivid involuntary autobiographical memory (IAM) that was triggered by dipping a madeleine cookie into a cup of tea.2 IAMs, also known as the “petit madeleine phenomenon,” are an interesting cognitive phenomenon because they are conscious episodic memories but they are involuntarily retrieved based on associative processes.3 They are common in both normal and pathologic states, occurring 3 times more frequently than voluntary memories.3–5 They have been explored in the context of drug-induced states, posttraumatic stress disorder, and temporal lobe epilepsy.2 We describe a patient with a hypertensive hemorrhagic stroke in the left posterior thalamus who subsequently experienced both multimodal synesthesia (stimulation in one sensory modality giving rise to an experience in a different modality) and IAMs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
