Abstract
The 100th Anniversary of the Second Battle of Ypres was marked with Royal Attendance of a remembrance ceremony and, perhaps more importantly to most Canadians, a "shout-out" to the battle given by Don Cherry on Coach's Corner.The ways in which this battle has been remembered and written about have shifted significantly in the last 100 years, and this paper attempts to chart some of the ways in which it has been understood by scholars and soldiers. Just outside of the Belgian town of Ypres, a few paces from the village of St. Julien, at the former site of an intersection known as Vancouver Corner, the granite figure of a brooding soldier-bowed but unbroken-rises on a granite plinth to monumental height.At eleven metres high, the soldier looks down on an otherwise sleepy intersection.The base of the memorial is inscribed simply with the word "Canada."It is surrounded by trees, farm buildings, and military cemeteries-thirty-two can be found within the twenty kilometres enclosed by Ypres, Vancouver Corner, and Langemark, more than one military cemetery per square kilometre.1The soldier's face, bowed in the position of repose, is anonymous.He emerges from the top portion of the granite slab, and only his head, shoulders, and arms are visible.His rifle cannot be identified as either the much-maligned 1 Figure calculated using Google Earth and data from, "Cemeteries in the Ypres Salient, Belgium,"

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
