Abstract
In January 2003 I went for a walk in the area around my parent’s home in Calgary, Canada. It was a typical January day (minus 20 C), freshly fallen snow and wide open blue sky. I walked through deep snow, on pavements that had just been scraped clear and on snow already compressed by passing cars. I heard the crunching and creaking snow beneath my shoes, thinking all the while that each step held a little microcosm of intricate sound. I went past large fields of unbroken blankets of white and through crisp air broken only by my breath and ringing church bells. I went home and cleared the snow from my parent’s sidewalks until my ears hurt too much from the cold and I retreated back indoors to some warming beverages. Frosty is made up of sounds recorded on that walk, transformed into something very different and removed from the original experience while retaining, I think, the qualities of the snow on that day.

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.
