Abstract
The Legend of the FloodThe Cowichan tell of a time when they, the Saanich, Kuper Island, and Nanaimo people were so plentiful that hunting became scarce, and they began to quarrel over boundaries.The wise men of the community became troubled about certain dreams that foretold the destruction of the people through a great flood.They decided to build a huge raft of many canoes tied together, and attached the canoe to the top of the Cowichan Mountains with cedar-bark ropes.Not long afterwards the rain started, the river rose, and soon all the valleys, and even the mountains were under water.The wise people, and the friends who believed, took their families and placed them on a raft, and the raft rose with the water and was the only thing seen for many days.How terrified they all were, and could not divine why this terrible calamity had been sent for.They prayed to the Great Spirit for help, but none came....At length the rain stopped, and they felt the water going down, and their raft rested on the top of Cowichan Mountain, being held by the anchor and the cedar rope.Then they saw land, but what desolation met their eyes.How their hearts were wrung with anguish.It was indescribable, but they took courage and landed and went where their old homes had been.They began to rebuild the village and take up their old life again.After this they increased rapidly, and soon filled their lands with people.Then they quarreled among themselves so bitterly that they agreed to separate, and in this way the world was peopled.

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.
