Abstract
On 14 July 2024, about 20 NSIS members and guests participated in an excursion to Scatarie Island, off the north-east coast of Cape Breton Island.Scatarie is now a protected Wilderness Area, but in the past was populated.It has a distinctive history, geology, ecology, and environment.A previous issue of the PNSIS -Vol.45, No. 1 (2010) -was devoted to the natural history of the island.We began at 8:00 am on the dock at Main-à-Dieu, next to the large fishing boat skippered by Robert Parsons.We had chartered the boat to take us to the island, and to come and bring us back at the end of the day.Bruce Hatcher of CBU also brought along a large Zodiac which he used to take groups on a few mini-excursions along the coast of Scatarie.Before leaving, we heard a little about the history of the islandhow it once had a community of 100 or more people with a church

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.
