Abstract
As the conference aims at locating works of both restored Jesuits and religious women within the American context, I would like to present a case study on the Faithful Companions of Jesus. When founded in France in 1820, they applied a symbolic and male model – following the Jesuit Rule and Constitutions “not in their entirety but as followed by those who are not priests or preparing for the priesthood” – extending opportunities for female religious life, in order to produce impact on civil society. They faced opposition from each level of religious authority, being at the same time supported within these networks. The Faithful Companions of Jesus crossed the ocean in 1883, responding to calls for religious women, and settled in Canada. In 1895, they came from Brandon and opened Fond du Lac (Wisconsin, USA). One year later, they arrived in Fitchburg (Massachusetts, USA). In Europe, Jesuits did not admit a parallel institution in the conditions lived by the Faithful Companions of Jesus. I seek to understand how the sisters adapted to America by creating new “identities” in accordance with their European Catholic inheritance, and how their relation with Jesuits evolved.

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
