Abstract
The future of the world’s biodiversity involves preservation of individual species and, more importantly, preservation of the natural process by which the biosphere is populated. Inherited history allows species to carry within them the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. But inherited history also sets the limits for adaptation. Evolutionary potential is thus locked within shared history. Extinction removes, speciation replenishes. We must implement conservation policies that mimic the biotic expansion that sets the stage for speciation. If we do not provide space for species to spread out and find their own futures, building biodiversity reserves is tantamount to attempting to maintain standing diversity by blocking evolution. We must preserve as many species, associations, and places as possible in a geographic context large enough so that individual species may expand and contract and evolutionary dynamics can have free rein to shape the future.

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
