Abstract
The Allied preparations to liberate Europe from German occupation included planning for army purchasing in combat zones and for the restoration of monetary order in liberated regions. The idea of ‘spearhead currency’ was developed in 1942 with US troops using ‘yellow seal dollars’ to pay troops and purchase goods and services in North Africa. But Allied policy worried European governments in exile, and Allied monetary policy adapted to take more careful consideration of currency issue as a critical realm of national sovereignty. France proved to be a particularly difficult case. President Roosevelt did not want to recognize Charles de Gaulle and the CFLN, but Allied planners and military needed to work with competent French civilian authorities if they were to secure liberated regions and advance into Germany without committing larger numbers of military personnel to manage civilian affairs.

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
