Abstract
Vancouver must be one of the most planned geographical spaces in the world. The city’s planning department is hailed internationally, and there is even something called the “Vancouver model” (it has to do with condos). The principles that govern Vancouver can seem rather Sim-City in their tidiness: citizens can sleep in this zone, party in this zone and get sick in this zone. At some point, the planners seem to have designated Granville Island the “performance zone.” So it’s here that you’ll find many of Vancouver’s theatre spaces and companies, including two stages for the Arts Club (one given in perpetuity to Theatre Sports), the Waterfront Theatre, Performance Works, Playwrights Theatre Centre (and their performance space), Carousel, Arts Umbrella and so on. The idea of putting all these companies and venues in close proximity sounds wonderful in theory. The only problem: no one actually lives on Granville Island and – despite being central – it’s a pain in the ass to get to. In the imagination of the city, Granville Island is not a cultural centre – it’s a farmers’ market, a year-round craft fair and a place for seagulls to shit on tourists.

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.
