Abstract
Fragment from an unpublished novel She can still see her father's garage, United Signs and Truck Lettering.The door was generous enough to admit a transport truck.On winter nights, these great creatures had entered, the clumped, salted snow dropping from huge wheels.As the beasts dripped, Francesca's father had wiped off the panels and prepared his work for the next day.He was always working, their dinners in the apartment above the sign shop often interrupted by a customer ringing the doorbell.He was always there.After school, before climbing the metal fire escape from the sign shop to the apartment above, Francesca sat in her convent-school kilt on the lower steps, and read out to him, or just talked.His mahl stick in hand, seated on the overturned coke case, lettering trucks with his back to her, Giovanni had listened to the story of Francesca's day.His patterns filled the racks, close to the ceiling.Like an archivist, he had designed these racks, so that he could locate any pattern, filed into his own unique order.Sometimes the customers would argue with him about these patterns, claim they were included in the price of a job.Giovanni knew they would simply take his patterns to some shoemaker-scarparu-who would do the work for less-not the same work, of course, impossible that these could be of the same quality.But quality was not what mattered to these types of customers.It was simply a question of price.She felt contempt for some of these customers, like the one who had scratched his balls, as he watched her climb the stairs."You have daughters?"that one had asked her father."I have sons," the customer added, watching Francesca, appraising her, scratching away."I have no daughters," her father had said, "not for your sons," elaborately scratching his own balls, as if this would help the customer to understand his refusal.The evening of Francesca's first art show is warm and clear.No one bothers to put on a light in the house, so that for the first time in years

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.
