Abstract
In late 1995, the data communications networks at the Fletcher Challenge Canada's Crofton pulp and paper mill had reached capacity and was suffering from overload conditions. The large growth in process control information and personal computers over the past few years was straining the existing coax and fiber optic systems' ability to reliably transfer data. In addition, the increased network complexity made the troubleshooting of the networks extremely difficult and time-consuming. This paper discusses the design methods used to create a new fiber optic backbone that would provide the data carrying capacity and reliability needed for the pulp and paper mill's computers and control systems. High speed network technologies such as ATM (asynchronous transfer mode), FDDI (fiber distributed data interface) and fast Ethernet were compared for their suitability in industrial environments. The design also incorporated Ethernet switches so that the existing Ethernet networks could attach at minimal cost. These switches subdivided the single large network that originally existed into approximately 24 subnetworks. This division greatly increased the network's allowable traffic capacity and prevented problems in any one area from propagating throughout the mill, thus reducing network and process downtime.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)
Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

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
