Abstract
The Los Angeles Bards Live in Pasadena. Producers and mixers Harland Steinberger, Michael C. Ford, and Terry Cannon. Produced for Stone Mountain Entertainment 2003 by HenHouse Studios, Venice CA. Sponsored by The Baseball Reliquary, Monrovia CA. If more proof were necessary, these poems would show that in America people grow up knowing and appreciating baseball. The term people here includes poets. On this disk, nine West Coast poets show their familiarity with game through their poems read on August 25, 2002, to enthusiastic listeners in auditorium of Pasadena Central Library. Some of poets played game, while others enjoyed being spectators. Each of nine poets recorded in these sixteen tracks is introduced as if he or she were a member of a baseball team. Michael Ford, a poet himself, makes introductions, claiming he is managing of most important baseball teams in Poetry League. Ford has an engaging manner and presents his team members in a lighthearted, entertaining way. First we hear Harry E. Northrup, an actor as well as a published poet. Within a prose narrative about playing ball among wheat fields of western Nebraska, he gives us a tiny, three-line poem about his baseball addiction, which fits my definition of poetry: a haunting thought or a scene that can be envisioned, described succinctly and beautifully, with an ending that enlightens. Batting second on Ford's poetry team is Joel Lipman, a full professor at University of Toledo, who tells us a good story in what sounds more like prose than poetry. The story is worth listening to. It recounts way Joel, as a seventeen-year-old, rescued passed-out Joe Pepitone from a room above a bar and got him to ballpark on time for game. Lipman reads well, especially quotations he includes. Batting third is Philomene Long, a Zen Buddhist and a longtime member of West Coast Beats. Long reads for us a poem that is perhaps best one of entire set. It's based on idea that Philomene, spending an afternoon at ballpark with Marcus Aurelius, is trying to persuade philosopher-emperor that Kirk Gibson ought to be an exception to his dictum that the pursuit of unattainable is insanity. I haven't been able to find this phrase in a translation of work of Marcus Aurelius, and actually, it sounds more like laments of Ecclesiastes (Long is a former nun), but poem presents a clever idea in felicitous wording and gives us a satisfying ending. …

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
