Abstract
The White People Problem is a series of experimental works that seek to engage white settlers on issues of colonialism, inequity, and privilege in Canada. \n \nGrounded in Boyce’s personal experiences, this work is her response to conversations within her family and social in-groups in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Using an interdisciplinary approach, Boyce combines everyday objects, statistical data, and comparison via self-location, to create an “inverse” white gaze. Viewers of the work are asked to consider the ways in which they benefit from a colonial system in a country whose policies continue to perpetuate a legacy of harm against Indigenous Peoples. \n \nSpecific technologies and methods used include photogrammetry, 3D printing, metal casting, sculpture, augmented reality, autoethnography, mould making, and screen-printing.

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
