Bibliographic record
Abstract
This was such a great conversation. Chris is a very creative and resourceful soul that has an endless number of stories to tell. We get into his process and thoughts on literature, self-publishing versus using a publisher and also talk about his ability to create audio books. Just a great conversation with a great guy.About Chris Humphreys:Chris (C.C.) Humphreys was born in Toronto, lived till he was seven in Los Angeles, then grew up in the UK.

Bizarrely, he was also the voice of Salem the cat in 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch'.A playwright, fight choreographer and novelist, he has written eleven adult novels including 'The French Executioner', runner up for the CWA Steel Dagger for Thrillers; 'The Jack Absolute Trilogy'; 'A Place Called Armageddon'; 'Shakespeare's Rebel' and the international bestseller, 'Vlad - The Last Confession'.He also fantasy: the Tapestry Trilogy consisting of 'The Hunt of the Unicorn', 'The Hunt of the Dragon' and 'The Hunt of the Shapeshifters' has just been published. And he is writing The Immortals' Blood Trilogy. 'Smoke in the Glass' and 'The Coming of the Dark' are both out, with 'The Wars of Gods and Men' coming in 2021.His novel 'Plague' won Canada's Arthur Ellis Award for Best Crime Novel in 2015.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
