Abstract
Visiting Roi on Wednesday evenings became a regular feature of my weeks in Vancouver over the winter.His health had been declining steadily since January so that eventually elementary conversation became impossible.Still, in appearance and outward attitude he remained recognizably Roi.At one point during my last visit, he was experiencing a high degree of agitation and wanted desperately to verbalize it.Finally, he let fly a very audible profanity and sank back into his chair.A little later, he became restless again.One of his caregivers and I lifted him to his feet to take him for a walk across the room.Perhaps not liking all the assistance he was being given but needed, he dug his elbow into my ribs!Assertive to the end!That was our Roi.He died a week later.Roi was born to LeRoi and Jean Daniels in Calgary at the beginning of the Depression.His father, a quiet man, was a school superintendent.From him, Roi acquired a life-long commitment to education.Roi told me that his mother Jean was the direct one and could be blunt at times-an attribute he inherited!Both were very generous in helping him undertake his university education.After a year as an undergraduate at Calgary's Mount Royal College in 1950, Roi headed for Montana State University to study journalism.He thought the life of a reporter would be glamorous, but quickly discovered that much of it would be drudgery!He returned to Canada within a year and enrolled in the University of British Columbia graduating with a B.A. in 1953 followed immediately with a one-year teacher training certificate.Over the next ten years, he accepted positions as a teacher and vice-principal in Dawson Creek, a teacher in Nanaimo, and a principal in Kelowna.For five of those years, he chaired the British Columbia Teachers Federation's Research Committee.While in the classroom, Roi promoted research into teaching and learning; later when engaged in research in philosophy of education, the classroom remained a central focus of his attention.Roi's move to philosophy was aided by -many profitable discussions with Kenneth Argue‖. 1 His studies were undertaken in the philosophy department at University of British Columbia (UBC) and it is typical of Roi that his committee would consist of heavy hitters.2 Roi set himself the task of figuring 1 From a personal conversation with Roi.

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.
