Abstract
EDIT (2025/08/16): The complete French version (three compiled novels) is available on this link: https://zenodo.org/records/16886932 The last and third novel - in English language - of the universe, The Architects of the Code is available on this link: https://zenodo.org/records/16886844In case you didn’t quite get everything, the analysis of the work: The Codex 97.1.128 is on this link: https://zenodo.org/records/16887445 Summary: This is no longer the novel where you become the hero, but the short story where you become a mathematician, a physicist and a geneticist. The Codex 97.1.128 is a hard science fiction work structured into three novels, exploring a fascinating hypothesis: what if the genetic code were not merely a blueprint for building life, but also an ancient, universal message? This message, hidden within the human genome by a civilization extinct for millions of years, becomes accessible only through binary conversion and mirror inversion of a specific fragment of the code. The simple mathematical sequence — 97, 1, 128 — points to a real star located in the Carina–Sagittarius galactic arm, at galactic coordinates l = 97°, b = 1°, r = 128 light-years. An isolated researcher discovers this codon anomaly, where the motif repeats, translates into images, becomes sound, then celestial coordinates, plunging the story into existential vertigo: are we alone, or simply forgotten in a discreet corner of the Milky Way, shielded from sight or chaos?

However, all mathematical, physical and genetics sections presented within the story are designed to be verifiable and reproducible. Of course, copyright is fully secured :-) About the Author Victoria Kayser-Cuny, a dual citizen of Canada and France, is trained in molecular genetics/molecular cytogenetics (post-graduate level), with advanced specializations in paleogenetics, exobiology, bioarchaeology, evolutionary genetics, particle physics, astronomy/astrophysics, and biochemistry studied across France, Switzerland, Canada, and the United States. She has also taught STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and, since 2022, has been writing a newsletter on G.R.AI.N. — Genetics, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Nanotechnology on LinkedIn. She is a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London (whose members once included Charles Darwin), a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, a Full Member of the Genetics Society of London, and a affiliate member of the Royal Society of Chemistry. A passionate practitioner of bookbinding and codicology, she has published several articles in French, including: “The Future of Codicology: From 13th-Century Chemists to DNA Fragment Data Storage” (2024, Quebec). She also collects books on mathematics and physics, and, like Michael Faraday, was once a bookbinding apprentice. Her interest in writing hard science fiction was sparked by a doctoral seminar at the Institut Pasteur, titled “Introduction to the Relationship Between Science and Society”, where the works of Ursula K. Le Guin were especially highlighted, but also personal: as a nod to her husband, who co-organized the 21st French National Science Fiction Convention in 1994, this book carries forward a family tradition of curiosity and imagination. Petra is the author’s third given name, and Ai Rotciv is simply “Victoria” spelled backwards.AI in this story Victoria Kayser-Cuny published her first short story in 1999 in a French tech journal (Le Monde Informatique), exploring speculative themes long before AI became a writing companion for many people. She continues to craft her narratives independently, while occasionally using tools like ChatGPT for light proofreading — just as one might ask a colleague to review a final draft. The core ideas, structure, and writing remain entirely her own.

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
