Abstract
In this paper I develop the notion of “relational space” by drawing on the theoretical perspectives of Adriana Cavarero, Julia Kristeva, Peter Sloterdijk, and Judith Butler. The paper itself was written before my arrival at the Santorini Voice Symposium, but I believe that the relational space created there allowed the paper to gain much force. I therefore reflect on the visceral experience of presenting the paper, not as a typical academic reading, but rather as my embodied interaction with the audience. In a very real sense it was the relational space created in Santorini that brought the paper to life and, in this process, allowed its conclusions to be revealed.

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
