Abstract
I have alluded previously to the myth of vampires requiring human blood to persist in their ‘undead’ state. The myth became popular following the publication of Bram Stoker’s novel ‘Dracula’. Certain animals, notably vampire bats, have a requirement for regular ingestion of animal and occasionally human blood [Fig. 1 ]. Vampire bats, which live in parts of central and south America, are believed to suck blood from sleeping mammals. These bats areequipped with very sensitive thermoreceptors in their noses which helps to locate blood vessels close to their victim’s skin. They can walk, jump, and run and only hunt in the dark. They apparently use infra-red radiation to locate blood hotspots on their prey. They also have very sharp incisor teeth but, importantly, their saliva contains substances which activate plasminogen and causes local fibrinolysis so rather than sucking blood they lap up the freely flowing liquid.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
