Abstract
A COUPLE from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, reentered the United States following a belated honeymoon in Canada.They crossed northeastern Vermont before entering New Hampshire at Colebrook, where they dined at a small caf e.Although road weary and seventy miles from home, Barney calculated that they could reach Portsmouth by 3:00 A.M. and endeavored to drive straight through.Leaving the restaurant, Barney pointed their 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air south on US Route 3 heading to Lancaster, New Hampshire.After Lancaster, the road and the travelers turned southeast toward Franconia Notch.It was then that Betty became aware of lights in the sky.Before the night was over, the strange lights and the events that allegedly followed would forever change the course of their lives.In subsequent years, their descriptions of events that night, real or perceived, would cast them as central figures in interest surrounding the alien abduction of humans.And the accounts, research, and ephemera they collected to document those events, now housed at the University of New Hampshire, would both keep their story alive and provide source material for future debate (Fuller 17-20).

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
