Abstract
Recent years have seen significant growth in scholarship on the history of telecommunications and related technologies in Canada. Starting with Robert E. Babe's Telecommunications in Canada and Michele Martin's Hello Central?, and continuing more recently with Dwayne Winseck's Reconvergence and Kevin G. Wilson's Deregulating Telecommunications, we now have a body of work that addresses how and why this industry became so central to Canadian political economy, social life, and cultural identity. Now, drawing primarily on federal and provincial archives, Laurence Mussio's Telecom Nation provides a welcome addition by concentrating on the response of Canada's federal state system to the growth of telecommunications and the arrival of the computer from 1945 to 1975.

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
