Abstract
The sBook platform that provides for the convergence of the printed codex book (p-book) and the e-book is described. The sBook platform combines the advantages of both the p-book and the e-book and incorporates some additional features that make the book smart, social and a vehicle for “active reading”. We will describe a number of different forms of the sBook that can operate on the sBook platform we are proposing. We will describe the different applications and advantages of each of these forms. The implications for print on demand publishing for the sBook are also examined. The impact of the sBook platform on a number of sectors is identified including authors, readers, publishers, booksellers, libraries and schools. Finally a number of research questions for further study are formulated. This paper is not so much a report of research completed but rather a scoping out of the issues that combining the p-book and the e-book entail. It is a report of work in progress.

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
