Optical Variability of Quasars with 20-Year Photometric Light Curves
Why this work is in the frame
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.

Abstract
TotalDat.fits.gz: A FITS table storing information for each of the quasars used in the sample. The names, formats, and contents of each of the columns in this table are described in Table 1. All time-series data (MJD_x, MAG_x, MAG_ERR_x), structure function data (DT_REST_x, SF_x, SF_ERR_x), and PSD data (REST_FREQ_x, CARMA_PSD_x, CARMA_PSD_ERR_L_x, CARMA_PSD_ERR_U_x) are stored as arrays. EnsDat.fits.gz: A FITS table storing information for the ensemble analysis conducted on different subsets of the total sample. The names, formats, and contents of each of the columns in this table are described in Table 2. Similar to the previous file, time-series, structure function, and PSD data are stored as arrays. It should be noted that for each quasar/ensemble, each array will be the same length to conform to the FITS file standards. Therefore, to force each array to be the same shape, arrays shorter than the largest array will be filled with either NaNs or empty strings until they reach this maximum array length. There will be three columns for many of the values, one for each bandpass (g,r,i), also described in Table 1.

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
