Abstract
Forcing the idea of Canadian-ness is an old habit in this country. Cultural, government or commercial institutions push products of national identity; they make policies, mandates and strategies that shoehorn these enigmatic and changing phenomena into tangible and material expressions of nationhood. Alan Filewod’s recent book, Performing Canada: A Nation Enacted in the Imagined Theatre brings this interesting problem of authentic and imagined production and reception into a stimulating critical perspective. Published as the first in a sub-series of monographs entitled “Critical Performance/s in Canada,” I enjoyed the study not just for its articulation and painstaking critique of our nation’s theatre and our theatre’s nation, but also for any omissions or assumptions which invite further study and healthy debate.

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 it
