Abstract
Comic by Peter Wilkins, commissioned and edited by Ernesto Priego. An output from the Parables of Care project. <br>The comic is the result of autoethnographic, participatory narrative design methods. It depicts two middle-aged brothers (one of them the illustrator himself) having a FaceTime call with their parents during the COVID-19 lockdown in Vancouver, BC, Canada. We know that it is tempting to flout "stay at home" guidelines to visit parents, but we also know that the risks to people over 70 in such visits is significant. The subtext of the comic is to encourage people to use video conferencing software to connect with aging parents rather than take the risk of physically visiting them during the COVID-19 crisis. <br><br>The comic has been deposited here so it can be cited and referenced in other academic outputs currently under review. <br>

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
