Abstract
Machine translation tools have demonstrated substantial progress in enhancing translation accuracy since the emergence of artificial intelligence. However, challenges persist in reasoning (or the lack thereof), considering contexts, addressing specific word games, and interpreting very long or very short sentences—those exceeding 50 and falling below 7 words (Bowker, 2023 : 893). Additionally, accurately translating technical or specialized terms and their variations remains a hurdle. This research introduces a categorical mathematical formalization of the comprehension stages in translation, along with a model for calculating acceptances (specific meanings of words) during the verification of meaning hypotheses. The goal is to elucidate the comprehension process and integrate contextual considerations. The formalism delineates a series of fundamental cognitive operations involved in comprehension. Furthermore, it advocates for evaluating meaning hypotheses using logical modalities, particularly hypostases, described as phrases (groups of words)—a unit of discourse rather than language—signifying the structure of arguments conveying the speaker's knowledge. The strength of our proposed mathematical model lies in its independence from both source and target languages, as well as the subjectivity of text authors or translators. Additionally, the assessment of meaning hypotheses relies on verifiable logical modalities, ensuring a reliable, explicable, and controllable outcome.

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
