Abstract
Biomimetic design involves the use of biological phenomena as analogies to solve engineering problems. The use of biological knowledge in natural-language format to support biomimetic design removes the need to create and maintain a database of biological phenomena for engineering purposes. However, challenges arise in recognition and extraction of relevant strategies in biological phenomena and the application of these strategies to the target problem. This paper describes two studies of how descriptions of biological phenomena are used to develop solutions to an example problem. Participants were informed of the types of similarities to avoid that were observed in a previous study. The occurrence of such non-analogous similarities declined. Two types of fixation were observed during the first study: fixation on certain words instead of the overall strategy presented in descriptions and fixation on certain solutions regardless of the description used as stimuli. The second study aimed to reduce these types of fixation. While fixation was observed to decrease in the second study, the need for support of analogical mapping persisted.Copyright © 2004 by ASME

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
