Conversation
The owner's claim, distillation is the massification of computation, as a permanent note (open question), with the method's definition checked against Hinton, Vinyals and Dean (arXiv:1503.02531). Ortega y Gasset joins 500AUTHORS.md for La rebelion de las masas; notes on him come later. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
paper.pdf and its LaTeX source (build/), from openai/math at 1581d4c, unchanged. Apache-2.0, the licence of that repository: its text is in LICENSES/Apache-2.0.txt and REUSE.toml marks works/openai/. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Task
The owner's message: add a note on what distillation is ("distillation is the massification of
computation"), notes on Ortega y Gasset later, and in the same PR add Ortega y Gasset for his
theory of the masses.
notes/202610151812-what-is-distillation.md: one permanent note, made underSMART_NOTE_POLICY.md. The claim is the owner's, so its status isopen-questionuntil heapproves it. The definition of distillation is checked against its primary source; the Ortega
dates come from a secondary source (partial).
500AUTHORS.md: row 97, José Ortega y Gasset, La rebelión de las masas (1930). He is not oneof the 50 thinkers, so
50THINKERS.mdis unchanged and still has 50.works/openai/,LICENSES/Apache-2.0.txt,REUSE.toml,works/index.md: OpenAI's preprint, copied as is (below).notes/index.md: a new section, "Distillation and the masses".Proof
