Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Nineteenth-century Ontario was home to an army of remittance men, the wayward sons of aristocratic and upper-middle-class Britons who were sent to the colonies, supported by their families to avoid disgrace at home. One such man was W.E. (William Edwin) Hamilton (1834-1902), whose father, the brilliant Irish mathematician, Sir William Rowan Hamilton, sent him to Nicaragua and later Ontario to avoid the embarrassment of his son’s inability to earn a living. Hamilton was self-destructive in many ways, but he eventually found success as a journalist in communities across Ontario, where he settled for the last thirty years of his life. He strived to live up to his family’s expectations, but was seen by many as a failure and was virtually written out of the historical record by his father’s biographers. Nevertheless, he carved out his own rather colourful career, despite being dogged by his personal demons and eccentricities.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
