Abstract
For radiation exposures below 100 mGy, the dosimetric signal in tooth enamel is too small to be measured by using the traditional dose reconstruction procedure. This is because low amplitude zero-added-dose signal can not be identified in an EPR spectrometer. A technique is presented wherein, zero-added-dose signal. when amplified by a proper known dose, can be measured in the EPR spectrometer. Mathematically, the accidental dose x is modified by a known amount of exposure, y (large enough so that the signal is now visible), and total exposure becomes x' = x + y, which is the modified-zero-added dose. The exposure x' is then quantified using the conventional backward extrapolation method and the accidental dose can be measured. In a laboratory controlled experiment, the feasibility of dose reconstruction in the 100 mGy range has been demonstrated. This may enable measurements of dose even due to suspected low exposure in tooth enamel.

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
