Abstract
Although France ranked among the victors in 1945 and set about creating a world-class Sigint apparatus as she rose from her ashes, Paris was not invited to sign the 1946 UKUSA Agreement – nor did French leaders want to join the AUSCANUKUS community. Determining how this situation came about is not as straightforward as it seems. France had played a pivotal role in early peacetime Sigint cooperation, the breaking the Enigma and collaboration with Great Britain continued even after the fall of France in 1940. Nevertheless, post-war French ambitions and Anglo-Saxon suspicions prevailed at the dawn of the Cold War, resulting in a unique dynamic between these three powers.

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
