Abstract
The Canadian Pacific Railway, begun in 1885, served as a political instrument to connect the emerging nation's halves, while Canada's second transcontinentals, Canadian Northern, came into being 30 years later as a low-cost way to haul freight and passengers. This second railroad later became the government-owed Canadian National. While they are only 30 years apart in age, the railroads were designed and constructed in radically different ways. While the Canadian Northern took advantage of engineering innovations of its day, the Canadian Pacific is much more primitive. On this railway, picks and shovels were used rather than the steam shovels used on the Canadian Northern, and while the former was built with native timber, solid steel was used in constructing the latter.

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
