Abstract
The shell-shocked soldier has been condemned as a madman in the official Great War literature. He was dangerous due to his mental trauma, isolated from his loved ones, and pushed to the fringes of society. Very little has been shared from the perspectives of shell-shocked soldiers. Most soldiers of the Great War did not discuss or write their psychological suffering as they were expected to remain brave and stoic. The few Canadian shell-shocked soldiers who did write about their war experiences break the silence of the archives and reveal new perspectives that have been historically shunned in war literature. There are even fewer stories of shell-shocked veterans after the war. The few stories and perspectives that exist reveal the challenges and issues that Canadian shell-shocked veterans encountered, including access to pensions, suicide rates, therapeutic methods, film, and institutionalization.

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
