Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As David Webster observes in Challenge the Strong Wind, most Canadians do not feel an instinctive interest in East Timor.It is a distant country on the other side of the world, a fragment of the Portuguese colonial empire.It was also a problematic country for Canada, complicating our relationships with more important states and inconveniencing the Canadian government at home.East Timor was, however, a significant country for Canadians because it was invaded and annexed by its much bigger neighbour, Indonesia, and kept in brutal subjection for almost a quarter of a century.The record of Indonesian atrocities, once established, stimulated -perpetuated -discordant voices in Canada and other western democracies that annoyed and increasingly embarrassed the Canadian government.When Webster writes about the Canadian government, he means more than a passing aggregation of politicians.The Canadian cabinet had no policy on East Timor as such.The politicians are concerned with other issues and bigger countries, and Webster illuminates the hierarchy of attention: the United States, Western Europe, the Cold War, the arms race, and bilateral and multilateral trade -tangible subjects with material or political impacts at home.Realism in a classic sense informs and defines Canada's foreign policy and external relations.But, as analysts of foreign policy in Canada and elsewhere have repeatedly shown, there are other considerations -ethical and humanitarian ones -that give purpose to policies.This,

Not 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.
