Abstract
The colonies which federated to form the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901 had a combined population of 3.8 million and a determination to increase that population and keep it essentially British. Over the course of the twentieth century, Australia's population grew fivefold to 19.2 million. In the first half of the century it was overwhelmingly Anglo-Celtic. The remnant of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population which had occupied the country at the time the British arrived had already declined to less than three per cent of the total at the turn of the century and declined further to one per cent by 1950. Thereafter, a process of cosmopolitanisation gradually gathered pace, not by choice but by default. There were simply no longer enough potential migrants from Britain to meet the perceived need for population growth in a country newly reminded of its vulnerability by its Second World War experience. The third quarter of the century was therefore characterised by a broad 'Europeanisation of the population, resulting from substantial immigrant inflow from countries such as Italy, Greece, and other countries of southern and eastern Europe. The last quarter of the century was a period of more radical cosmopolitanisation, with an influx of migrants from Asian countries following the abolition of the White Australia policy in 1973. These changes in population composition resulted from changing political, economic and social realities, and a gradual modification of the accepted bases of national identity.

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
