Phil's intellectual and pedagogical tenacity and audacity has made it possible for me to cover the terrain that I have in the dissertation and through my degree.I can only hope to repay my debt to Phil to some upstart still in grade school.Jose Lopez read these chapters more than anyone else on the committee and read drafts so fresh that I may as well have been reading them to him as I wrote them.H e was indefatigable.More than his capacity to labour though, Jose has been candid and open with me and I have come to trust him.While writing the dissertation I w ent to Jose with ideas that so scared me I'd kept them to myself for a year.His insights into the project lent me bearing and direction and enabled me to pull the whole thing together.A nd he always liked my writing.Thanks to Melanie and Willow for blazing the trail and keeping the torches lit while I followed.A nd thanks to Ren and Aimee for asking the same o f me.Erin, Andrea and Kelly are to be acknowledged for keeping their cool, throughout.If it weren't for these women, their wisdom and humour, I'd be sunk.E rin in particular dredged me from the pool o f my own tears too often.I've been lucky to have such an insightful, sensitive and articulate friend on the other end o f the phone.My m other's friendship has been invaluable to me over the course o f my graduate studies.I have gone to her for advice, encouragement and consolation, each o f which she has delivered with grace.I have chosen academia because I learned from her that such a life is worthy o f pursuit.A nd everything would wash away were it n o t for my love, D.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
