Abstract
Since the nineteenth century, Christians in Canada have been committed to cooperating with one another on building up the country's social well-being. With the emergence of the modern ecumenical movement in the twentieth century, this work was undertaken first by the Canadian Council of Churches and then in the 1970's and 1980's by Canada's Inter-Church Coalitions, which worked actively on sociopolitical issues. At the same time, those decades saw the beginning of Canada's greatest period of secularization, wherein the percentage of those claiming "no religious affiliation" rose from 4% in 1971 to 24% in 2011. This essay studies whether there is any correlation between ecumenical sociopolitical activity and the rise in "nones."

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
