Conversations with Transitory Spaces: The Relationality of Tide, Time, and Transit on the St. Lawrence River
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This chapter considers walking as embodied practice and as a means of engaging and reconciling the shifting value systems within a maritime community in Quebec's Gaspésie region, on the Lower St. Lawrence. Based upon a conception of walking as a dialogic methodology (Chappell et al., 2019) this inquiry examines the estuary of the Métis River as a transitory space, with visitors and residents encountering a changing and threatened shoreline. Episodic human and nonhuman intra-actions are defined by passage: arrivals and departures, where the agency of place meets the temporary needs and wants of its migrants. Walking in conversation with these remote spaces evokes both immediacy and timelessness, raising questions about human/nonhuman entanglements in their débris and their becoming. The physical and temporal ecologies of this region are diffracted through a/r/tographic conversations that integrate embodied pedagogies, where the agency of theland activates memory, affiliation, and compassion.

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.
