A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.

Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A new anti-icing device, called Fixed Automated Spray Technology, employs information generated by road weather information systems (RWIS), which predict when a road will become icy, and are programmed to spray chemicals immediately in advance of icing conditions. The device uses potassium acetate, which is non-corrosive to concrete and steel and has less impact on the environment than salts. A version of the system, implemented near Prescott, Ontario, was shown to be effective; there were no weather-related accidents the winter after it was installed, even though that winter was much harsher than the previous ones.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
