Board-static labels#

Status: adopted

The label is the hand eval of the collected board itself: no teacher replay at label time, no lookahead. This became the base recipe for every arm that followed.

Shared vocabulary in Glossary. This page adds:

Term Meaning
Board-static label The hand eval of the collected board itself.
Static clone A net trained on board-static labels, tracking the hand eval's ordering almost perfectly.

The hypothesis#

If the goal is a fast, quantized stand-in for the hand eval inside the field term, the most faithful target is the hand eval value of the very board being evaluated.

What happened#

The clone, v7s, played the most hand-like of all arms and won 25% against production on the pools of its day. It also upstacked the most stubbornly, which is what exposed the real mechanism: see Field collapse.

The verdict#

Adopted as the base recipe. Its weakness is not the label but the distribution: train it on the states the system actually plays and the collapse disappears, which is the self-state pools fix.
