Abstract
ABSTRACT: Ancient landscapes dominate many parts of the world and are common in Australia—do they have a future for continued agricultural production and the supply of ecological goods and services? The hypothesis is that old, weathered landscapes respond differently from young landscapes when subjected to intensive landuse. The major difference in response is that system function regresses or fails in old landscapes. The aging phenomenon is illustrated using data from a podzol chronosequence on coastal sand dunes at Cooloola, Queensland, Australia. The old systems here are shown to regress naturally from forest systems to health systems as access to nutrients decreases. Responses to landuse disturbances in old landscapes other than sand dunes, show analogous regressive trends to the dune landscapes, but the biophysical nature of the responses can vary. How can such trends in landscape health be measured to better link land capability with landuse? The concept of sustainability may not be appropriate for old landscapes and a different framework based on a health paradigm is suggested. Starting from an equilibrium perspective, we move to a conditional stability concept and then to a conditional health paradigm. Health and ill‐health are deemed to be definable within predetermined limits, that is a compliance measure, similar to the diagnostic approach in human medicine.

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
