A note on the post-war story of the Wawel tapestries in Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This year it has been 56 years since the Wawel tapestries were returned to Poland after their wartime odyssey. The wartime and the post-war journey of the Polish Treasures had many dimensions. In an atmosphere of personal conflicts and rivalry among various political forces, the Polish tapestries and other treasures awaited the final decisions about their future, being repeatedly transferred from one place to another. Complications were numerous and related to four areas: to the relationship between the Polish Government in exile in London and the government in Warsaw; between the Canadian government and the Polish political centres - both the anticommunist authorities in London and those subordinate to the Soviets in Warsaw; between Ottawa and Quebec. Shortly after the war there was also an ideologicalpolitical conflict developed between the main caregivers of the Treasures, who had accompanied them since the beginning of this odyssey, and were their custodians in the Wawel Castle. These were the four main areas of the dispute regarding the future of Polish treasures found in Canada. This prolonged disagreement was the reason why the treasures returned to Krakow no sooner than 15 years after the war.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
