Abstract
A 59-year-old woman with epilepsy was admitted to hospital with a 6-year history of fever of unknown origin (FUO). Computed tomography (CT) showed extensive low-attenuation mesenteric and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. Investigations for malignancy and infection were negative, including two separate excisional biopsies of lymph nodes. An ascending aortic aneurysm was seen on CT, and a diagnosis of large vessel vasculitis (LVV) was considered. A trial of prednisone for presumed LVV was initiated and then discontinued when positron emission tomography (PET) failed to show vasculitis. Repeat core biopsy of a mesenteric lymph node revealed non-necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and histiocytes with periodic acid–Schiff (PAS)-positive intracellular material. Electron microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the tissue confirmed Tropheryma whipplei. She was treated with ceftriaxone for 2 weeks, followed by long-term combination doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine. The patient's seizure control improved on therapy, raising the suspicion that the seizure disorder was due to Whipple's disease.

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
