Abstract
Punishment was initially viewed as a moral event implying that the condemned person was redeemed from status as a delinquent member of society through his or her punishment. This redeeming aspect of punishment was superseded by a penal instrumentalism that transformed a penal sanction into an indefinite process never reaching its end. Comparisons of prison rates between various countries show that they do not directly vary in proportion to external factors such as crime rates. They also suggest that crime rates may affect prison rates through their affective resonance rather than their quantum and that penal policies take a different meaning depending on what they are compared to. Stability of imprisonment rates in Canada results from its traditions of multiculturalism and minority empowerment and by the Canadian consensus for distancing the country from the punitive excess of its American neighbor. Finland’s declining crime rates show that countries may change their penal policies by comparing themselves to their neighbors. Breaking down a country's isolation may be a condition for changing its penal policies.

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.
