Abstract
In 1942, Japanese Canadians living in coastal British Columbia, Canada were forced to relocate. Once World War II ended, they were not permitted to return to their homes on the coast. This paper relates to the correspondence between two Japanese Canadian women and a white Canadian woman who lived in Nanaimo, B.C. The first letters were written in 1942, and they continued writing letters after resettling to Mio-Mura, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan in 1946. This paper summarizes the contents of 47 letters sent to Nanaimo from these two women, of which 19 were sent from Canada, and the other 28 were sent from Mio. The letters provide insights into how attached Japanese Canadians were to Nanaimo, and they demonstrate the degree to which some first-generation immigrants from Japan were able to maintain positive relationships with white Canadians, despite having significant cultural and linguistic differences and experiencing structural racism.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
