Bibliographic record
Abstract
A paper for the Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, written in Scottish Gaelic, which looks at the use of Canda/British North America as a geo-emotional construct in the socio-politico debate regarding the merits of emigration from the Scottish Gaidhealtachd/Highlands to the New World. By taking on three of the most well-known Scottish Gaelic song-poems, from the contra side of the debate, the author submits them to a close reading to elucidate the various narratives of cultural, linguistic and geographic (topographical) anxiety on the parts of the composers/poets. Throughout, various examples of pro emigration/immigration song-poems composed/written in Scottish Gaelic in Canada are marshalled to counter the prevailing mood of displacement as a journey through a vale of unremitting tears. Issues of the forces of metropolitan cultural models imposed on colonial productions are also raised in the process.

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.
