Abstract
Brazzaville, Capital City From a Gaullist perspective, Brazzaville became the capital of legitimate France on August 28, 1940. According to Jacques Soustelle's memoirs: It was in Brazzaville, on French soil and only there, that Fighting France's provisional powers could see the light of day. Only there could they escape the mortal dangers of emigration. It was there that General de Gaulle created the Conseil de D'efense de l'Empire on October 27, 1940. In an organic declaration of November 16, also published in Brazzaville, and to which a magistrate from Pointe-Noire contributed judicial input, the Council solemnly refused to admit the Vichy regime's legitimacy. It was therefore in Brazzaville that Vichy's authority was defied, in Brazzaville that the empire was defended, and from Brazzaville that the struggle was coordinated. In this vision, the capital of FEA became a guarantor of Free France's independence, at once from the Axis and from Free France's own allies. The city on the Congo served as a legitimate capital for the movement in a way that the city on the Thames never fully could. Soustelle reminds us that London evoked the legacies of Huguenot, counterrevolutionary and Second Empire emigration from France. Furthermore, de Gaulle was something of a guest at his Carlton Gardens headquarters, while at Brazzaville his government operated on sovereign French territory. In Brazzaville, Free France endeavored to establish its legitimacy both legally and practically. Organic Act #1 literally invented the concept of Free French Africa. In fact, its hastily concocted governmental structure involved considerable haziness. Thus, Edgard de Larminat first held the title of delegate, before becoming high commissioner for Free French Africa. His mandate and its limits remained ill-defined vis-à-vis those of the governor-general of FEA, Félix Eboué. The movement rapidly set about instituting a Bulletin officiel de l'Afrique française libre , a record of decrees that began in Brazzaville long before being copied in London.

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.
