Abstract
This paper introduces declarative event patterns (DEPs) as a means to implement protocols while improving their traceability, comprehensibility, and maintainability. DEPs are descriptions of sequences of events in the execution of a system that include the ability to recognize properly nested event structures. DEPs allow a developer to describe a protocol at a high-level, without the need to express extraneous details. A developer can indicate that specific actions be taken when a given pattern occurs. DEPs are automatically translated into the appropriate instrumentation and automaton for recognizing a given pattern. Support for DEPs has been implemented in a proof-of-concept extension to the AspectJ language that is based on advanced compiler technology. A case study is described that compares the use of DEPs in the implementation of a protocol (FTP user authentication) to the use of a set of other approaches, both object-oriented and aspect-oriented.

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
