Abstract
The term ‘British World’ is used in this book to refer to networks of trade, communication, and political cooperation focused on relations between the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa. The term ‘Dominion’ came to be commonly used to refer to the self-governing colonies (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Newfoundland, and, from 1910, South Africa) during the early twentieth century, and was given official recognition at the 1907 Colonial Conference. On account of these nations’ new status, future meetings were referred to as Imperial Conferences. For convenience, these countries are referred to in the text as ‘self-governing colonies’ for the nineteenth century, and as ‘Dominions’ when reference is made to their development between 1900 and 1949. The term ‘Commonwealth of Nations’ or ‘Commonwealth’ became a popular way to define the self-governing nations of the British Empire during the 1920s. The Commonwealth was given official status when the Statute of Westminster recognized the sovereignty of the Dominions in 1931. The term ‘Empire-Commonwealth’ is employed in the text when making reference to both the self-governing and colonial empire.

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.
