Metadata for a systematic description of signal data
Why this work is in the frame
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.

Abstract
This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive overview of metadata types that may be useful during system design, optimization, and automation. Metadata are grouped into three main categories: (a) metadata describing signal generation, (b) metadata describing signal quality, and (c) contextual information in the form of annotations. Each of these categories is introduced and explained in three separate sections. Importantly, this chapter mainly answers what is considered metadata. To a lesser degree, recommendations are made regarding the selection of metadata for long-term storage. Chapter 4 will explain where and how to store metadata. Chapters 5 and 6 explain how to collect certain metadata through dedicated sensor validation tests (Chapter 5) or algorithmic analysis (Chapter 6).

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
