Abstract
It was with great shock and sadness that the crystallographic community learned of the sudden death of Louis Delbaere on October 5, 2009.Louis was a current member of the IUCr Executive Committee, and was known and respected around the world as a scientist of great integrity.Like many others, I felt personally privileged to count him as a close friend and colleague, and it has taken me some time to come to grips with his loss.It is an honour to be able to write this short tribute.Louis was born in Saint Boniface, Manitoba, the third child of a family of 12. Shaped by this upbringing, his relationships with family and friends remained central throughout his life.A chance event led Louis into crystallography.While pursuing a PhD in synthetic chemistry at the University of Manitoba, he was scooped by a competitor.Undeterred, he grew some beautiful crystals of a copper complex, solved its structure and was hooked.A period as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oxford, with Keith Prout, followed and it was there that his horizons expanded, scientifically, socially and geographically.As it was for many of us from 'the colonies', it was a chance to make life-long friends and get a sense of where science was going.Following his time in Oxford, Louis looked to return to Canada.His strong sense of family led him to look to the Canadian prairies, where he grew up, and it was there that he developed the rest of his scientific career.Fortuitously,

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
