Abstract
The structure of this book is appealing. It is reminiscent of the Holocaust 'memoir', Fugitive Pieces, by the Canadian poet Anne Michaels; both are beautifully written books comprised of two unequal parts whose relation is unspecified-and suggestive by virtue of that fact. The explicit concern of both books is the relation between lives despoiled by war and the surface routines that precede and follow the war. Both ponder, too, the relation between individual lives and the narratives that seem to live through those individuals as if possessed of their own identities. Is it not 'curious', Michael Jackson writes (pages 45-6), 'the way in which individuals and their stories metamorphose, each borrowing its identity from elsewhere and leaving us perennially uncertain as to whether we are authors of our own lives and who is the real author of any story told'.

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
