Abstract
What is “Chinese food”? Here I explore this complicated question in the context of St. John’s, the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador. Although the Chinese represent Newfoundland and Labrador’s largest non-indigenous “visible minority” with a single ethnic origin, they comprise only 0.26 percent of the province’s total population (Statistics Canada 2006). There is no Chinatown and the small number of Chinese Newfoundlanders means that their culture remains largely invisible except for a few large public cultural displays such as annual Chinese New Year celebrations, an annual flower service in August, and sometimes, a moon festival dinner. In this context the twenty-five plus Chinese restaurants and four Chinese groceries stores located in St John’s become important markers of local Chinese culture and locations for both Chinese and non-Chinese to define, negotiate and re-define what “Chinese” means to them.

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
