Abstract
“If you want to understand the world around you, you need to look at what’s gone on in the past and then take a look into what the future might hold,” Dr. Peter Leavitt shared during a talk on the Qu’Appelle lakes at the Treaty Four Gathering in Fort Qu’Appelle on Friday night. “This is all about looking to the future. The world is never the same…it’s always changing, just like the Qu’Appelle lakes. There are serious problems with the water,” said Leavitt, “including blooms of algae, some of which are toxic. Something’s going on here. It’s important for the future that we understand why this is happening today.”

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.
