Abstract
This chapter traces the life of architectural objects at the Canadian Centre of Architecture (CCA) and the conservation lab, which creates the impression of being the most isolated place at the CCA. It describes the objects on trial, experiments in progress, protocols, tests results, a giant microscope, and the lingering smell of unknown chemicals inside the conservation lab. It also emphasizes how objects in the conservation lab are treated like patients in need of special care as the objects get a full health and security check. The chapter analyses reports of each object's experiences and reactions, which allow the objects to be inspected during an exhibition to ensure that they have not changed. It reviews the work of conservators Karen Potje and David Stevenson in order to follow how the affected objects are treated amidst the fear of time and hazards of climates and environments.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
