Abstract
This essay briefly develops an epistemological, anthropological, normative, and legal/constitutional theory of federalism through which we could envisage anew the complexity of the relationships between Aboriginal peoples and Euro-Canadians or that of Quebeckers and Anglo-Canadians. According to this understanding, federalism is not only characterized by a recognition of the inescapable pluralism of Canadian society, but also of the close interaction between the constituent parts of that plural society — an interaction constantly torn between centrifugal and centripetal forces. Because of the bi- or multifocal perspective commanded by this understanding of federalism, none of these interlaced components may be ignored. Concepts such as sovereignty, nationalism, and rights revolve around a single centre. Federalism requires the recognition that the Self is not of one essence and that a community cannot be envisaged in ignorance of other legitimate collectivities surrounding it. In the perspective defended here, federalism is not a monoconceptual but rather a hyphenated notion forcing one to reconcile dyads such as self–other, us–them, autonomy–solidarity, power–justice, etc. Federalism also acknowledges an uncertainty in our world and in ourselves that other concepts tend to obscure. As such, federalism, at an epistemological level, requires that we be suspicious of monocular outlooks.

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.
