Abstract
Eutrophication has been an issue in Lake Simcoe since the 1970s, stressing aquatic wildlife, notably economically-important cold water fish. Non-pollen palynomorphs (NPP) are more sensitive proxies of water quality than sedimentary phosphorus, and have a higher fossilization potential than mineralized microfossils like diatoms, although some, notably desmids, were shown to be sensitive to acetolysis. Algal palynomorphs record cultural eutrophication since European settlement at all three sites in a north-south transect (particularly at the southern site Cook’s Bay) and similar NPP assemblages record eutrophication below the Ambrosia (ragweed) rise in cores from the main basin and Smith’s Bay. This event has been attributed to the Wendat (Huron) occupation of Wendake (Huronia) that ended in the mid-seventeenth century, an attribution supported the by increases in micro-charcoal, likely from controlled fires and the presence of palynomorphs associated with agriculture.

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
