Abstract
Abstract: Colonial landscapes permeate the English imagination of the nineteenth century, and our gaze has been fixed on them. There is much more to the Victorian world, however, than meets the eye. The Victorians were immersed in sound, and colonial landscapes were also soundscapes. Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton (1848) ends with Mary looking out over a pristine Canadian landscape from which sound is conspicuously absent. I propose that we reread novels like Gaskell's through the soundscapes of Tanya Tagaq's Split Tooth (2018). The unrepresented soundscapes of Tagaq's narrative refigure sound as form, and, through her text, we are invited to listen differently. Only by hearing the sounds of Victorian novels can we begin to reimagine relations that stem from colonial encounters depicted in their many silences.

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
