Abstract
A series of pyrene-labeled dendrimers were prepared from generation n = 1 to n = 4 where the pyrenes were attached to the end groups of the dendrimers. Pyrene excimer formation was monitored by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy as a function of generation number and in terms of the I(E)/I(M) ratio and the average rate constant of excimer formation <k>. To account for the unconventional distribution of pyrene labels which were neither randomly distributed throughout the macromolecule nor limited to just two units which are the only two pyrene-labeling schemes that can be dealt with in a straightforward manner, a Model Free (MF) analysis was applied to the global analysis of the fluorescence decays. Within experimental error, the I(E)/I(M) ratios and <k> obtained from, respectively, the steady-state fluorescence spectra and the time-resolved fluorescence decays were found to increase linearly with increasing generation number. This result is inconsistent with the fact that both the I(E)/I(M) ratio and <k> are proportional to the local concentration of pyrene inside the dendrimer ([Py](loc)) which is not expected to increase with generation number if the excited pyrene is assumed to diffuse freely throughout the dendrimer interior. Since the core-dense model predicts that the dendrimer terminal ends can occupy any position throughout the dendrimer interior, these results suggest that excimer formation between the pyrene-labeled ends is enhanced due to the branched nature of the dendrimer.

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
