Abstract
This pilot study explored the use of tensiometry as a measure of retention of knot tying skills. Medical students learned a one-handed square knot tying technique. Their final performances were video recorded and these videos were uploaded on to a website. Students were divided into two groups: an observational learning group that had access to videos before a retention test, and a control group that did not. After a two-week retention period, all students came back and performed one more trial to test the amount of retention of the skill. Tensiometry was used to measure strengths of the knots before and after the retention period. The scores showed no significant difference between the groups (p>0.308) or tests (p>0.737). We interpret the results to suggest that tensiometry is not sensitive enough to detect degradation in the performance of fundamental clinical skills as they are forgotten after being taught.

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
