Abstract
AnnnouncementRail ''raw'' if it was determined that a certain call was made by that species (Kellogg 1962).Hearing that Kickers were calling in Saskatchewan, Archie Hagar made the journey in 1964, and at 4:00 AM on the 6th of July, found a male Virginia Rail giving the kicker notes (Callin 1968).A series of other short papers in the late 1960s and early 1970s (e.g.Bollinger and Bowes 1973) directly linked the kicker call to Virginia Rail, smugly stating that the mystery was solved.But wait, it turns out that many members of the genus Rallus give the kicker call in some form or another, including Clapper (R. longirostris) and King (R. elegans) rails and even the Eurasian Water Rail (R. aquaticus), although the function of the call remains obscure (Manolis 1981).So, what species did Brewster and his friends really hear? ''Probably'' a Virginia Rail (Veit and Petersen 1993).

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
