Abstract
A map depicting the northern regions of the Pacific Ocean by Jean Meares. The map reflects areas from Central Asia to Baja California but mainly focuses on the tracks of various explorers throughout the Northwest, Alaska, Canada, Hawaii, Western Pacific and Southeast Asia. The map traces routes taken by Captain James Cook in his third and final voyage between 1778 and 1779. The map also traces the courses taken in 1788 and 1789 by ships owned by British citizen, Captain Jean Meares who was perceived by some to be less than scrupulous in his words and deeds. Cook’s experience in the Pacific brought to light that there was an opportunity to make a fortune in the fur trade. This ultimately lead to legitimate and questionable fur trading by competing European interests, largely with the Chinese. Meares registered his ships in Macau, a Portuguese colony in China. The ships bore Portuguese names, “Iphigenia Nubiana” and “Felice Adventurero,” and were licensed under the Portuguese flag thus allowing Meares to circumvent the requirement that British traders be licensed by and pay duties to the East India Company. The fact that this is a French map suggests that it was most likely published in 1790 in a four volume French version of his English publication, “Voyages Made in the Years 1788 and 1789.” Meares included maps and plats in volume 4 of the French edition.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
