Abstract
This paper presents the technical feasibility of baling vetiver grass to be used in load-bearing plastered bale walls. The vetiver grass species used for this research at the time was called Vetiveria zizanioides Nash. A baling technique for vetiver grass was developed using a conventional square baling machine and a standard tractor. The moisture content and density of the vetiver bales were determined and compared to various codes. Two plastered vetiver bale walls, 1.8 m high × 3.2 m long × 0.5 m thick, were constructed and uniformly loaded in compression along the top surface of the wall until the walls reached the ultimate failure load. The loading, deflection, and cracking behaviour of the walls were recorded and analyzed. The ultimate failure loads for the plastered vetiver bale walls were compared to plastered non-vetiver bale walls from literature and the allowable design load from code.

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
