Abstract
Natural Resources Canada makes its GPS Corrections (GPS·C) available in real-time through the Canada-wide Differential GPS Service. These corrections have also recently become available over the Internet using prototype UDP and TCP servers. The latter uses the NTRIP model of data transfer to allow, in part, for the creation of Virtual Reference Stations and the production of RTCM-SC104 local-area corrections for Differential GPS. In addition, both servers provide high-precision wide-area corrections in a modified RTCA-SC159 format to provide the necessary precision to eventually realize real-time Precise Point Positioning (PPP) to the subdecimetre level. Obtaining the highest possible accuracy from GPS corrections requires an awareness of the clock reference, or datum, to which they refer. The pseudorange measurements selected for the correction computation determine the clock reference for those corrections. The GPS·C corrections are currently referenced to the C/A (C1) and P2´ (C1+P2-P1) pseudorange observables and users must match these to achieve the best possible accuracy. Failure to do so can degrade positioning precision by up to a factor of three or more.

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
