Abstract
By the end of 2024, the United Nations Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) on plastic pollution should have the final text of a treaty telling the world how to deal with the hundreds of millions of metric tons of plastics produced each year . The wording could have major ramifications for the chemical industry in the coming years. In the 2022 resolution to develop the treaty , the committee noted that “the high and rapidly increasing levels of plastic pollution represent a serious environmental problem at a global scale, negatively impacting the environmental, social and economic dimensions of sustainable development.” The first three INC meetings took place in 2022 and 2023. INC-4 will be in Canada in April; negotiators plan to finalize the treaty wording at INC-5, which is scheduled for November, in South Korea. INC-3 ended in November 2023 without the expected first draft of the treaty text . Disagreement

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
