Abstract
A series of accelerated aging experiments was carried out on two generic types of cable splice (heat-shrinkable and premolded) for underground distribution systems. Each accelerated aging experiment consisted of a daily heat cycle and a selected stress voltage. Testing was performed until sample failure and the time-to-failure were recorded to assess the performance of the splice under test. The results demonstrate that aging experiments are an effective means to bring out design weaknesses in both heat-shrinkable and premolded splices. Thermal instabilities at the splice connector were found to be the principal cause of failure in both types of splice when operated at high temperatures. In addition, workmanship can greatly influence the expected performance of the heat-shrinkable splice in its present design. By comparison, the premolded splice tested is more susceptible to mechanical stresses.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

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
