Abstract
The Rise of Asia To Canadians, particularly those living in eastern Canada, no part of the world seems so far away as Asia.Nearly all of us stem originally from across the Atlantic and therefore feel some connection with the continent of Europe.But Asia sometimes seems strange and mysterious.We have sent missionaries there; a few Canadian engineers and businessmen have gone there, but still it is a place which seems to have very little to do with us and with our lives.Yet as modern invention pulls the world closer and closer together, we are becoming increasingly connected with the Asiatic world.Canada is on the direct air route between Chungking and New York.The third largest of our provinces, British Columbia, borders on the great Asiatic ocean, the Pacific.Just as Halifax, St. John, and the St. Lawrence are gateways to Europe, so Vancouver and Prince Rupert are our gateways to the Orient.If one looks at a map, one can see that around the northern rim of the Pacific Ocean there is almost complete land connection between Asia and North America.The Alaskan Highway is in truth the first step on the road to Tokyo.The last few years have taught many Canadians how much the East can influence and affect our lives.Seven years ago, we shipped supplies to Japan and thought of the war in China as a sad affair, but far removed from anything that would affect us directly.Yet today we are at war with Japan and two thousand Canadians were taken prisoners by the Japanese at Hong Kong.Till less than a year ago, the Japanese occupation of the Aleutian Islands (part of North America) directly affected our safety.On other Tuesdays we have discussed how Canada is part of the world and how we are going to be affected by that world.Tonight as part of that discussion we are going to talk of how we will be affected by Asia-the largest and most highly populated continent in the world, awakening today to new and tremendous importance.How will we as Canadians be affected by this vast awakening?ASIA It is often hard for our imagination to grasp the sheer size and diversity of Asia.We think of Europe as a continent of

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.
