St. Louis Once Was “P(a)in-Cour(t)”— But Was It Ever “Short of Bread”?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract L’histoire française de Saint-Louis débute sous la dépendance de Québec par l’émergence d’un poste colonial appelé P(a)in-Cour(t). Ce premier nom a vite présenté une énigme historique aux États-Unis et embarrassé les analyses d’explications anecdotiques. Des indices reposaient cependant dans le Canada du XVIIIe siècle, d’où provenaient en majorité les pionniers de Saint-Louis. Traditionnellement négligée, l’influence de la vallée du Saint-Laurent sur celle du Mississippi s’exprime par leur parenté toponymique. Les noms P(a)in-Cour(t) et Vide-Poche, perçus comme des créations propres au Pays des Illinois, renvoient en vérité à de vieux noms de lieux laurentiens. La saillance de cette paire toponymique au Missouri a favorisé leur identification inédite dans les registres paroissiaux de Kamouraska contemporains du peuplement canadien aux Illinois. Le prolongement de cette recherche au Canada et en France apporte des données originales à la compréhension du nom P(a)in-Cour(t) et invite l’hypothèse d’origines multiples susceptibles d’avoir anciennement nourri une confusion lexicale.

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.
