Abstract
Abstract Within Quebec the term ‘postcolonial’ is generally ignored. The complex ways in which Quebec can be considered postcolonial in a historical sense, and in which postcolonial readings of Quebec literature can be useful, have been the subject of considerable debate. In The Coloniser and the Colonised (1957), Albert Memmi tackles the postcoloniality of Quebec. Yet, even in its expanded form, postcolonial studies appears to have been an unattractive discipline in Quebec, particularly given the absence of a single Quebec intellectual in the postcolonial anthologies. While Quebec's Quiet Revolution has often been interpreted as signifying a profound break between tradition and modernity, this view has recently been challenged by Quebec historians Claude Denis, Claude Couture, and Linda Cardinal.

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
