Abstract
Interpreting Sophie's WorldBy the spring of 1853 Sophie Mercier's behaviour had become alarming to her family and neighbours.Sophie, wife to Francois Dussault and mother of several children, was about thirty-eight years old and lived in the parish of St Jean Baptiste des Ecureuils in Canada East.Over the previous few months her family and her parish priest had noticed that she was exhibiting an unhealthy obsession with religion, and her husband had come to believe that she posed a physical threat to their children.The apparent mental breakdown of Sophie Mercier was critical for the whole family.Given the onerous duties of married women in mid-nineteenth-century rural Quebec, which included planting and harvesting the "kitchen" garden, managing the poultry and dairy, baking, cooking, washing, maintaining the household, and rearing the children, Sophie's inability to perform her traditional roles as wife and mother would have exacerbated the hardships of an already difficult way of life.Moreover, the timing of Sophie's troubles near the start of the ploughing season in St Jean Baptiste des Ecureuils would have made it difficult for Francois to spend much time with her.His need to be absent may in part explain why he resorted to confining Sophie during the day by tying her to the house.Over the next year and a half the crisis precipitated by Sophie's mental condition became more acute.She tried to drown herself

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.
