Abstract
Currently under construction in Jena, Germany, the Deutsches Optisches Museum (D.O.M.) represents a novel concept in science communication, merging the principles of modern science centers with the heritage of classical museums. Designed as an interactive edutainment hub, the D.O.M. integrates artistic, aesthetic, and scientific approaches to engage the public in optics, photonics, and medical physics. Visitors will be driven to learn through curiosity, visual fascination, and hands-on experimentation, all of which will be complemented by in-depth scientific explanations. Spanning more than 3100 m 2 across four floors, the museum’s exhibition will be dedicated to microscopy, ophthalmic optics and spectacle lenses, and astronomy. Key highlights include the world’s largest historical glass archive; interactive relay-optics stations that allow visitors to “look through” historical instruments; and large-scale educational models such as a walk-in human eye. The concept unites education, research outreach, and design through collaboration with leading architects, artists, scientists, and industrial partners. Located in the historical and contemporary heart of optical innovation, D.O.M. aims to set a global benchmark for communicating science in the fields of optics and photonics. The museum fosters public understanding and appreciation of the physical principles of optics and photonics that shape both medical and industrial technologies.

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
