Abstract
Biochar, recognized for its porous structure and functional groups, holds promise as \na tool for mitigating greenhouse gas transmissions, particularly CO₂. This study acts \nas a precursor for future exploration of the efficacy of Principal Component Analysis \n(PCA) on Fourier Transform Infrared spectra for sample categorization for CO₂ adsorption. \nUtilizing RStudio, spectra from feedstock and biochar auger wood and snow \ncrab samples were subjected to PCA. Results indicate that, in smaller sample systems, \noverall spectral intensity outweighs chemical differences in peak structure, while \nlarger systems exhibit increased significance of peak structure due to comparable intensities. \nFuture research should investigate the in \nuence of experimental conditions, \nsuch as temperature and exposure time, on spectral intensity for conclusive PCA clustering. \nAlthough PCA effectively distinguishes spectral features in diverse samples, \nits applicability to larger systems with colinear features requires further exploration.

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
