Abstract
Bertha Wilson’s journey was storied, if unlikely in certain ways. She was the Scottish minister’s wife who immigrated to Canada and many years later became the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court of Canada. She arrived at the Court momentously, in time to witness the historic repatriation of Canada’s Constitution and enactment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Bertha Wilson was not impelled to law school in the 1950s by focus or ambition, nor did she aspire to the judiciary. She did not seek out the powers and responsibilities of judicial office, but was chosen for public service.

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.
