Abstract
This page intentionally left blankNuit Blanche is an annual all-night festival that hosts various artistic and creative installations throughout the City of Toronto.On 30 September 2017 one of the festival's final events was held at the Aga Khan Museum and Ismaili Centre in Toronto, coinciding with the birthday of the thirteenth-century Muslim Sufi shaykh and poet Jalaluddin Rumi (d.1273). 1 In honour of Rumi's birthday, whirling dervishes (samazens) and musicians participated in an all-night event, which included the recitation of zikr (prayer of remembrance) and sama (sacred audition).The event attracted many art enthusiasts who were roaming the Nuit Blanche festival, many of whom were likely drawn to Rumi and the whirling dervishes through their exposure to him via popular culture.The audience was also well attended by members of various Sufi and Muslim communities in Toronto, who were there to partake in the spiritual and religious experience; for them, this gathering was a sacred ritual.This part of the audience included members and leaders from the Inayati and Nimatullahi orders as well as various Ismailis -that is, Shia Muslims whose leader is the Aga Khan.But the main event of the evening, zikr, was led by the Canadian Institute of Sufi Studies (Rifai Order), whose shaykh Murat Coskun, along with his wife Talar, and his dervishes (disciples), led zikr for everyone present with live music that included Turkish ilahis (ritual songs).As zikr unfolded, members of Rumi Canada presented sama or turning.This public event, which brought together the many Sufi communities in Toronto in ritual collaboration at the Ismaili Centre (a religious space) to celebrate the birth of a thirteenth-century Sufi poet, captured the depth and breadth of Sufism as it is experienced in Toronto and more broadly in today's Canada.In many ways, this was hardly a unique event -similar ones have become common across Toronto and in various other cities, like Vancouver and Montreal.A similar Nuit Blanche event for Rumi was held again in 2018, 2019, and 2022 at the Ismaili Centre (after a hiatus due to COVID-19).Festivals that focus on Rumi and the tradition of turning are often held at cultural centres and

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; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
