Abstract
The shape reconstruction process has remained an active research area in archaeology, paleontology, forensics, cultural heritage restoration and art conservation. In all these cases, the reconstruction process is tedious and time consuming. Aside from collecting several randomly mixed fragments, the fragments also have to be glued together. A stable and efficient algorithm for computer aided reconstruction of fragmented models is introduced in this paper. This novel approach is based on the morphing technique using the deformable self organizing feature map (SOFM). The SOFM is a skeletal framework for modeling surfaces that dynamically change shape. The lattice of the SOFM is a spherical map that maintains the relative connectivity of the neighboring nodes as it transforms under external and internal forces. The digitized fragments are assigned weight vectors and morphed into the weight vectors of the original model. The technique is illustrated by reconstructing the geometry of a complete vase from the surface data acquired from several fragmented pieces.

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
