Abstract
About Edward Leedskalnin:\nEdward Leedskalnin was born in 1887 in Riga, Latvia, to a family of stonemasons. Little is known about his childhood. At the age of 26 he became engaged to a girl named Annie Scuffs, who broke off the engagement the day before the wedding ceremony. Heartbroken by this, he emigrated to North America in 1912. He lived in several places across the United States and Canada before contracting tuberculosis and moving to Florida for the warm climate.\nWhile in Florida, Leedskalnin began work on a large sculpture park called the Rock Gate Park, currently known as the Coral Castle, out of coral rock. He used only hand tools and never had any assistance, primarily working at night for privacy. He moved again in 1936 after hearing about plans to build a subdivision nearby and spent the next three years transporting his sculptures. He finished erecting the final walls in 1940.\nLeedskalnin became ill in 1953 and passed away, leaving the sculpture park to his nephew who would in turn sell it to a couple form Illinois. The only written records he left behind were several pamphlets he wrote on magnetism and his personal political and moral beliefs. The lack of documentation and eye witnesses has lead to speculation as to how Leedskalnin was able to move the large pieces of coral rock he used to build the park. Coral Castle was added to the National Register for Historic Places in 1984 and is currently open as a tourist attraction.\nImages and film are provided for educational purposes only.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
