Abstract
If a system and its observation are both represented in state space with linear equations, the system noise and the measurement noise are white, Gaussian, and mutually uncorrelated, and the system and measurement noise statistics are known exactly; then, a Kalman filter (KF) [1] with the same order as the system provides optimal state estimates in a way that is simple and fast and uses little memory. Because such estimators are of interest for designers, numerous linear and nonlinear problems have been solved using the KF, and many articles about KF applications appear every year. However, the KF is an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter [2]. Therefore, the KF performance may be poor if operational conditions are far from ideal [3]. Researchers working in the field of statistical signal processing and control are aware of the numerous issues facing the use of the KF in practice: insufficient robustness against mismodeling [4] and temporary uncertainties [2], the strong effect of the initial values [1], and high vulnerability to errors in the noise statistics [5]-[7].

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
