Abstract
This study examined the characteristics of individuals enumerated as 'unsound of mind' in the 1871 and 1891 Censuses of Canada to identify and locate 'insanity' in nineteenth century Canada. A variety of residential options were identified, including remaining at home or lodging within the community, living in insane asylums and residing in other institutions such as jails, hospitals and homes operated by charities. The foreign-born, particularly the Irish, individuals aged 40-60 and Roman Catholics were identified as being overrepresented amongst the insane asylum populations. An examination of the origins and development of the country's insane asylums emphasized that despite some differences, there were increasing commonalities in the structure of asylums in each province, warranting the development of a national perspective.

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
