Abstract
Abstract In the decades following the War of 1812, poverty in Scotland drove substantial immigration to Canada. Many of these immigrants, regardless of their previous occupations, became farmers by taking land grants from the British government. Not all these grants, however, offered equal return for labor. This article focuses on the life of one such immigrant, George Easton, who tried to make a living farming land entirely unsuited for agriculture. Using Easton as a lens, it argues that Scottish immigrants in this period invested religious meaning both in the ideals that they attached to farming and in the success of their labor. It shows that full consideration of the relationships between agricultural labor and religious life requires attention to the specificity of place.

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
