Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In June of 2013, my youngest daughter, Grace, and I crossed the border into Canada from the United States, our applications for work and living permits in hand. We were directed by border agents to the immigration centre, and when our turn came to speak with an agent, as she completed our paperwork, she asked Grace what she most looked forward to about becoming Canadian. Grace said confidently, “Tim Horton’s!” This produced laughter among every agent close enough to hear. As our agent returned our documentation, she told us we would find a Tim Horton’s at the first exit after the border and welcomed us to Canada. The relief I felt was palpable. I had already promised my family that I would never uproot them to change jobs again. But more than this, I felt the anguish of living in a nation now adrift on rising tides of white supremacy and racism, now sinking in a sea of right-wing extremism and protofascism receding. Some time would pass before I allowed myself to see, to hear, to know that not all border crossings were as easy, as welcoming as ours.

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.
