Abstract
The concept of landscape continuity has guided a great deal of contemporary environmental planning. Landscape continuity strategies are often situated as a response either to urban sprawl, or to the need to protect ecological features and functions over vast, connected terrains and multiple jurisdictions. While the concept is rooted in the natural and physical science of landscape ecology, its interpretation and deployment in environmental planning often hinges on the landscape ideals and preferences of those active in planning processes. This research employs discourse analysis to examine the interpretation of landscape continuity along the fringes of Toronto, Canada, and finds a strong current of social injustice flowing through efforts to preserve nature and “legacy landscapes.” The research reveals important ways in which the concept of “nature” becomes invested with power through planning.

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
