Abstract
During the War of 1812 the Pacific front was largely quiet except for the exploits of Captain David Porter and the frigate Essex. Porter sailed around Cape Horn without specific orders and harassed the Pacific-based British whaling fleet. Porter employed clever ploys to lure, seize and plunder whaler quarry, but ultimately the American was captured, surrendering his small force to a superior British force. The American Navy then ceded this vast ocean to the British Navy. Before the outbreak of the War of 1812 John Jacob Astor, the American entrepreneur, established the fur-trading post of Fort Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River. The outcome of Porter’s naval defeat spoiled Astor’s dream of lucrative sales of pelts largely to the Chinese market. More important, it affected the American political and economic development of the Pacific Northwest for the early half of the nineteenth century, finally settled by the outcome of what was known as the “Pig War.” This is the story of a part of the War of 1812 whose outcome changed the westward development of the United States and Canada.

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.
