Abstract
This article presents all the textual variants in the smaller Isaiah Scroll from Cave One (1Q8 or 1QIsa b ), also known as the ‘Hebrew University Isaiah Scroll’, which preserves material ranging from Isa. 7:20 to 66:24. With respect to textual character, 1QIsa b has been classified as proto-Masoretic in view of its general affinity with the received Masoretic Text. For the forthcoming edition of 1QIsa b (vol. 32 in the series ‘Discoveries in the Judaean Desert’), a variant reading is determined wherever 1QIsa b differs from another Hebrew witness (Qumran scrolls, such as 1QIsa a , the MT as in the Leningrad Codex, or other Masoretic manuscripts and editions). In a few cases, the collation is against the Septuagint, but difference from the Greek is not a fixed criterion for determining a variant reading.

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
