Abstract
The cover image comes from an artist in the Charlevoix region of Canada's French-speaking Québec province.Charlevoix is north and west of Maine, where the Appalachians slope down to the St. Lawrence River.On the opposite bank, they rise up again with forest, scattered lakes, and small towns.The Isle aux Coudres, the Island of Hazelnut Trees, where Jimmy Perron was born and raised, lies a few miles offshore.No ordinary island, it bears the imprint of the universe, having been formed, along with the adjacent mainland, by a meteor strike from outer space.There is something celestial, if not meteoric, about Mythical Bridge.A crowd of shapes, some bird like, others suggesting stars or snowflakes, floats through shafts of light over the hard white ground.They seem bound for an unseen destination somewhere above and beyond the blue night with its pale moon.The composition has a vertical momentum, and the colors are cool but mixed with hints of golds, greens, and even reds.A bridge joins places, or thoughts and differences, spans rivers and obstacles and provides passage and travel.So what is being joined or traversed here?Perhaps it is fantasy and reality, or the frozen earth and a living sky, or an island, and a distant shore or perhaps it is the way to another, better world.Mythical Bridge evokes a Québec winter with its ice and snow but also a winter of the imagination, with magic and celebration swirling in the frosty air.Growing up on an island in the St. Lawrence, Perron knew long winters and isolation.There were few other children and few opportunities to travel and see different places.So, he learned to travel in his mind and create imaginary places inspired by what he saw, felt, and heard locally.The Charlevoix countryside, its mountains and river, and climate with four distinct seasons, has always had a strong presence for him.No people anticipate spring more eagerly than Québecers or find greater enjoyment in summer and in the last warm days of fall.But there is something special about winter here, at least for Perron.Unlike the "snowbirds," Canadians who flee annually to Florida, he has no wish to escape.He finds drama and mystery in nighttime landscapes and clarity in the way the human form contrasts with the whiteness of snow as

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.
