Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This thesis uses a science fiction videogame to reframe geographic information. Set in a fictitious Canada, the game imagines a future in which drastically altered environments have transformed human's perception of territory and technology. As a colonial project, Canada has relied heavily on imagery and myth to justify territorial expansion and curate a sense of nationhood. Such a mythology is rapidly eroding in view of the current climate crisis. Considering that works of fiction can influence decision-making, the project uses worldbuilding to reflect critically on the agency of representation. Critical analysis of visual material and works of literature serve as inspiration for the game world. Architecture is interpreted as the act of curating space to communicate meaning. Hence, the game space is designed to challenge dichotomies regarding nonhuman nature. Considering this, the project investigates how the use of storytelling technologies can make tangible the abstract reality of a changing world.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
