Abstract
Late teen, early 1980s, and first gorging on poetry because it was the only thing that made sense, I became deeply enthused by hearing poems, as much as by reading them: to experience poetry as immanent, in synaesthetic plenty, all writing, reading, listening, speaking, watching, touching, tasting and smelling of poetry was involved. Poets whose work was about all the things language could do, and all the ways of doing it, really appealed to me. Among Canadian poets, I was not left wanting. Amazing work had already been achieved in the experimental spirit of the sixties and seventies: sound, visual, concrete and performance poetry; experimental theatre; choral and improvised forms; dub; and small press activism had all contributed to a robust literary environment. Best of all, we had great mentors and lots of critical work published to base our work on, to push the envelope toward an ever-more imaginative and unbridled poetic passion. One could follow the work of bpNichol, Steve McCaffery, Lillian Allen, bill bissett, Roy Kiyooka and so many more, set free to consider far-reaching visions of poetry’s future. It was this openness to experimentation, this breadth of imagination, that made Canadian poetry a wonderful ride that cost very little money and took you a long way.

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
