Abstract
Mark IV Industries surprised many by putting out the news that it is developing a multi-protocol transponder (MP-tag) or supertag that will work in all the major electronic toll systems in North America. It will develop the tag out of its own resources. The MP-tag will embody three separate protocols: the Inter Agency Group E-ZPass, Mark IV's own proprietary system; the Federal Highway Administration's open standard sandwich protocol American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) v7/IEEE P-1455 and its subset Hughes ASTMv6 for trucking; and California Title 21 open standard. It is unclear as yet how the MP-tag will operate with the Amtech versus proprietary read-only systems in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and the Maritime provinces of Canada. The toll authorities could swap out the single-mode readers for dual-modes, or Mark IV and Amtech could cooperate. These will be relatively small issues to be resolved compared with the challenge of working out business arrangements for handling the increasing number of foreign transactions that interoperability will allow.

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
