Abstract
Textile historians tend to demonstrate the history of textiles from the start of using fibers yet rarely explain how people knew to use them. With an investigation of the early textile-related remains and a theoretical analysis of the difficulty in and the demand for using fiber materials, a hypothesis is raised that the know-how of using fibers came from the experience of making textiles with both fineness and strength, which was accumulated from the early technologies of interlacing and cord-making. The properties of fiber materials should have been discovered thanks to the frequent use of stripped or sliced materials taken from plants. Among all the main types of the earliest fiber materials used by humans, invisible plant fibers should have been the first to be used, cotton the second, wool synchronous with or a little later than cotton, and silk the last.

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.
