Abstract
This technical report describes two of the domain specific languages used in the Aquarium kernel code synthesis project. It presents the language cores in terms of abstract syntax. Cassiopea is a machine description language for describing the semantics of processor instruction sets. Alewife is a specification language that can be used to write machine-independent specifications for assembly-level instruction blocks. An Alewife specification can be used to verify and synthesize code for any machine described in Cassiopea, given a machine-specific translation for abstractions used in the specification. This article does not include an introduction to either the Aquarium system or the use of the languages. In addition to this version of the article being a draft, the Aquarium project and the languages are works in progress. This article cannot currently be considered either final or complete.

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
