Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the 1930s, Japanese marine biologists began studying coral reefs at the Palao Tropical Biological Station on the island of Koror in today’s Republic of Palau while the island was occupied and governed by the Japanese Empire. These scientists’ ecological research on the symbiotic relationship between coral polyps and algae later contributed to the American science of ecosystem and radiation ecology, which developed in the irradiated atolls of the Marshall Islands, where the United States infamously conducted nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s. It was also in the 1950s when American and Japanese scientists turned to ‘radioautography’ to visualize the otherwise invisible presence of radiation in these coral reefs. Absorbing radioactive elements released into the marine environment, the bodies of irradiated corals and algae became organic mediums of ‘sensing’ radiation for scientists. This article examines the analogy of ‘self-portrait’ in relation to the radioautographic images made by these irradiated specimens.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
