Bibliographic record
Abstract

Andrew MacDonell, and arranged chronologically as a file perhaps by Clare Lawrence. Includes correspondence regarding the activities of the Society, especially regarding financing and settlement planning for the Society's settlement scheme in Alberta, Canada, minutes of 1925 meetings, printed reports for the years 1933 and 1939, and a 1926 field supervisor's report regarding Clandonald, Alberta. Includes an informal retrospective report by MacDonell in 1952, pamphlets, broadsides and other promotional material for the Clandonald settlement scheme, specifications from 1923 for farm workers' housing construction and settlers' cottages, copies of memoranda and requests for funds by MacDonell, correspondence with and copies of lectures in 1933 by Dr. Coady of the Extension Department of St. Francis Xavier University, and four indentures made in 1939 and the early 1940s by MacDonell with his relative Arthur Lawrence regarding property in Clandonald.

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.
