Abstract
The Rangeroads is a graphic novel employing regionalism and Gothic elements to investigate how individual identities and landscape engage with the cultural-colonial and industrialenvironmental history of the Peace Region.The narrative follows Cai Monkman, a Cree-Mtis teenager who becomes lost in the network of rangeroads surrounding the rural Albertan town of Beaverlodge.The roads morph into a place both familiar and strange as Cai travels, encountering spirits, albino moose, and haunted pioneer shacks.At the same time, two lab assistants from the Beaverlodge Research Station investigate the sudden levitations of barley crops and a prophetic voice that phases in and out on a Grande Cache Radio station.The phenomena encountered by Cai and the researchers emanates from the rangeroads realm: a place-doppelgnger of the Peace Region where history manifests in the form of supernatural beings and occurrences.The Rangeroads is a Gothic portrait of place, zooming in on an obscure corner of Western Canada and the individuals who live there.Using tools of Gothic literature and a visual narrative, my thesis excavates the histories and current realities of a mostly-unknown regional community to offer a complex, metaphysical exploration of its identity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
