Animal Sanctuary: The Designer's Guidebook for the Mental Welfare of Rescued Animals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The by-laws protecting animal rights and existing animal shelters, place medical welfare at the forefront of the design of the shelter, meanwhile mental welfare is almost completely neglected.No matter how large a cage, animals can succumb to mental illnesses and depression when faced with monotonous living quarters and no social interaction.How can animal enclosures, such as dog kennels, cages, etc., be re-designed specifically for the rescued animals' mental welfare?How can the architecture be designed not from the point of view of humans, but from the sensorial perception system of the animal, while also keeping in mind the concern for contamination?This thesis will be addressing the basic components to de-stress a newly abandoned animal and propose a spatial design that best accommodates an animal's specific sensorial abilities.By creating design modifications to standard enclosures, a designer's guidebook is produced for those creating an environment suitable for rescued animals.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
