Abstract
Built on the less visible, yet dynamic, scholarship on the history of geophysics, the author-amidst a handful of recent historians-situates the beginning and growth of radio technology in the context of atmospheric science during the first half of the twentieth century. The outcome of this novel focus is the first book-length historical study of radio ionospheric propagation research. The author's focus of the book is to portray a complex social structure that shaped radio ionospheric propagation research in its formative years. Distinct intellectual traditions in physical sciences, the radio industry, engineering education, science policies, and geopolitics were all intertwined with one another in a kaleidoscopic frame. The author attempts to explain the ionosphere in terms of its impact on social, political, cultural, and economic conditions.

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
