Abstract
To expedite delivery of the digital geological products of new fieldwork, digital capture of point observations must occur on the outcrop in order to expedite the population of a database while the mappers are still in the field area. A variety of currently available handheld devices and software has been evaluated for this purpose, and a robust, effi- cient digital data-collection process has been developed. Using Pendragon Forms(tm) 3.0 data-collection software, we have created an electronic data-collection 'form' for the Palm(tm) model IIIe handheld device. The mapper com- pletes a data form at each outcrop; upon completion of the traverse, the data are downloaded to a database in camp for immediate visualization using a GIS. Data verification and preliminary interpretation can occur in the field, and production of products for publication can begin immediately.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
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
