Abstract
The chapters and vignettes in this book are very much reflected in my and my wife’s life stories, and those of our parents, and grandparents. Our grandparents came to Canada at the beginning of the twentieth century. At the time, more than half the population of Canada lived in small towns and rural communities. Audrey’s grandparents ended up in the Okanagan Valley on her father’s side and in Alberta on her mother’s side. On her father’s side, the family faced the racism that was prevalent against anyone coming from Japan in the case of her grandparents and later, racism that all members of the family faced as Japanese Canadians. My grandparents ended up in Toronto and Hamilton. As Jewish immigrants from Germany, Poland, and Russia, they faced the antisemitism of the times even after they and their children (my parents and uncles and aunts) became Canadian citizens. In his final years, Audrey’s father moved back to the Okanagan Valley near where he grew up and where most of Audrey’s family still live. Audrey’s mother and stepfather aged in place in their home just outside of Kelowna. In recent years, it became apparent that they could no longer look after themselves and now live in assisted living. As their youngest son and after I left for university, my father and mother moved to a new house and lived there until he passed away. Soon after, my mother moved into a community for older people that had apartment buildings, communal dining rooms, various amenities, and a nursing home for those who could no longer live independently.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
