Abstract
The contribution of soundtracks that represents only one domain, speech, sound effects, and music to absorption or engagement of an audience in a story is discussed. Congruence-Association Model (C-A M) assumes that the audience's goal is to create a meaningful story from the material of the film that include scenes, text, music, effects, and speech. At lower level of analysis, the information in the distinct channels is analyzed for meaning and structures, where some information leaks upward to long-term memory which then provides inference about the narrative. The principle of association aggregates meaning for the five channels, and the principle of Congruence accounts for impact of shared structural features across channels. Judgement of realism and quality provide measures of control to assure that absorption judgments are based on a sense of general professionalism of the production.

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
