Abstract
Seventy-five years after the approval of the Society of Jesus by Pope Paul III in 1540 and fifty-five years after the death of its founder, Ignatius Loyola, the French Jesuit priests Pierre Biard (1567-1622) and Ennemond Massé (1575-1646) set foot in New France at Port Royal, 22 May 1601. “It is according to our divine calling,” Ignatius Loyola hadwritten, “to travel to various places and to live in any part of the world where there is hope of God's greater service and the help of souls”; and in New France these “Blackrobes,” as they were soon affectionately called, immediately began to reach out to the aboriginal peoples of the vast new land. They went first to a band of Mi'kmaq living nearby whose chief Membertou had been baptized thirteen months earlier by Jessé Fléché, a diocesan priest accompanying a small expedition sponsored by the governor of Acadia. Membertou and his family were the first aboriginal people to receive solemn baptism in New France. Two years later the two Jesuit priests, having been taken prisoner by the English, were returned to France. In the long run, this first Jesuit mission, despite its short duration, would, in its frequent recounting, inspire many vocations among the students of the Jesuit colleges in France. Jesuits returned to New France in 1625, this time to the settlement founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain at Quebec, whose population numbered only around seventy. Three priests, Ennemond Massé again, Charles Lalemant (1587-1674), and Jean de Brébeuf (1593-1649), as well as two Jesuit brothers, François Charton (1593-1657) and Gilbert Burel (1585-1661), landed there on 15 June 1625.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
