Abstract
In “Pinery Road & Concession 11”, writer, academic and musician Leanne Betasamosake Simpson reflects on the chapter of the same name in Dionne Brand’s A Map to the Door of No Return. By physically traveling to the same corner in rural Ontario that Brand’s car broke down two decades earlier, Simpson considers place, belonging, diaspora, property, and foreclosure in her own Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg homeland. Simpson’s companion on part of the journey is an 80 year old Black Ash Basket which she repatriates to Curve Lake First Nation on the way. What follows is the text of the piece originally presented at the Map to the Door At 20 gathering. Simpson presented the piece over looped time lapse photography of the journey and surveillance footage of the intersection of Pinery Road & Concession 11. Simpson’s sister, Ansley Simpson provided a soundscape for the piece, repurposed from Leanne’s track “Solidification” (Noopiming Sessions, Giizhiwe Music, 2021). “Pinery Road & Concession 11” is an honour song to Brand’s constellation of thought that has traveled the world, and back to the Burnt River, near Kinmount, Ontario.

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.
