Abstract
Almost from the moment he died, and it was revealed that he was not an Apache half-breed but an Englishman, Grey Owl has been depicted largely as a fake or fraud, an impostor. He is one of the numerous members of the Wannabe Tribe who claim to have special insight into the Aboriginal way of life. However, in his 1996 poetic biography Grey Owl: The Mystery of Archie Belaney, Armand Garnet Ruffo suggests that Grey Owl may not have been guilty of deception, at least as far as the First Nations are concerned. After all, Ruffo writes, not only were most Aboriginal people Grey Owl knew aware of his identity, but they were instrumental in his metamorphosis.

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
