If you have the time do the outside wall first. Then either spray or much more labour intensive trowel the papercrete on in layers letting each dry in between. You might consider just laying the inside wall with mortar that would cut down on the moisture getting back into the papercrete. The advantage that I see is if you form the outside walls as loadbearing you can get your roof, doors and windows in and have a dry environment to do the rest of the work in.

Thanks, Spaceman. As a concept - pretty good, in practice, not so
great? What if I were to put up ONE stone wall, use it as part of a
form for the papercrete, then remove the forms from the other 3 sides
and allow the papercrete to dry and cure, before finally using the
flat edge of the dry papercrete as I build my outer wall? Maybe more
trouble than it's worth - the cost savings over beadboard just makes
