Abstract
This paper investigates the vernacular architecture of the Marshall Islands through a deep-time perspective and demonstrates the Indigenous knowledge present in the production of the Marshallese vernacular house. The focus is on the socio-spatial patterns that represent generations of cultural knowledge and create culturally supportive built-environments, representative of living vernacular architecture. This article investigates the transformations of the Marshallese vernacular house through a diachronic study of habitation on the weto, which is the traditional system of land tenure through matrilineal inheritance. This study presents findings of extensive field work in the Marshall Islands investigating the dialectic relationship of Marshallese culture and its built-environment. To understand fundamental processes to the Marshallese production of space, a multi-sited case study design utilized theoretical replication to establish consistencies across rural, urban, and peri-urban communities. The study found that while manifestations of the Marshallese vernacular house evolve, the core processes remain consistent. The Marshallese vernacular house is a manifestation of generative processes, components of Indigenous knowledge. The Marshallese vernacular house is central to the Indigenous architecture of the Marshall Islands.

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.
