Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This thesis examines historical concepts of nature in the context of Windmill Point, a wharf at the entrance of the Lachine Canal in Montreal's Old Port. It does so to understand how the conceptualization of nature has formed the way humans have mapped, shaped, and exploited it as a resource. Humans' self-ascribed dominion has shaped and reshaped the environment to fit economic aspirations, aesthetic desires, and cartographic reiterations which speak to a faith in measurability, order, and linear progression. By studying a series of archival maps, images, and documents in conjunction with regular site immersion, materials explorations, and design propositions this thesis investigates fungi as a design tool which can begin to challenge assumptions held on the production and commodification of space. It proposes a series of interventions which invite fungal possibilities while accepting and celebrating the non-linear and often erratic agency of fungi in "stories of making and unmaking".

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.
