Abstract
The Unredeemed Captive: A Family Story from Early America follows the journey of the Williams family in 18th century New England during their years of captivity and eventual release.In the early morning of February 29, 1704, Deerfield, Massachusetts, came under a surprise attack by a joint band of French and Native skirmishers.The Puritan families that occupied the town were ruthlessly struck down by their attackers, and many were subsequently taken captive.What followed was a grueling ordeal for these families as they forcibly marched two hundred miles through the freezing snow into Canada, where the French and Natives dwelled.John Williams, the much-respected minister to Deerfield, witnessed the murder of much of his family, as did many members of his community, at the hands of Natives who did not hesitate to kill any prisoners that could not make the arduous journey through the snow.Throughout his time in captivity, Mr. Williams struggled to understand the meaning behind his town's predicament through the framework of his Puritanical beliefs.Their stringent faith caused many in the community of Deerfield to question God's role in their dire situation.Many began to believe that they had somehow failed their Lord and deserved this righteous punishment.From a Puritan perspective, John Williams saw the pitiable state of his family's captivity.He came to the belief that to be "redeemed" in God's eyes, he, along with the surviving residents of Deerfield still held captive, must be freed from their captors and taken back to their home.Their Native "masters" allowed John Williams to deliver a sermon to his people during their forced march.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
