Abstract
We report here the first measurement of near-infrared (NIR) vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) with Fourier transform (FT) instrumentation. The measurements were carried out using a commercial rapid-scan FT-IR VCD spectrometer modified for operation in the NIR region between 3750 and 6150 cm-1. Overtone and combination band VCD intensities, first reported by Keiderling and Stephens using dispersive VCD instrumentation in 1976, were reproduced with equivalent signal quality and spectral resolution using collection times of only a few minutes. These results offer substantial promise for the routine use of rapid-scan FT instrumentation for the measurement of overtone and combination band VCD spectra in the NIR region.

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
