Abstract
In December of2007, the Globe and Mail, one of Canada’s national newspapers, published a series of articles written by columnist Ian Brown. In the three part-series entitled, “The Boy in the Moon,” Brown narrates his life with his cognitively disabled son. This paper explores Brown's articles in relation to Judith Butler's (2004) "Violence, Mourning, Politics," and conducts an analysis of how cognitive disability is being enacted as "not quite a life" (34). This paper demonstrates how Brown’s articles tell the story of cognitive disability as a state of brokenness, some-thing that requires fixing. Significantly, when disability defies and/or resists fixing, it is discursively re-framed as a tragic loss. By attending to the making of disability in Brown’s articles, this paper is more broadly interested in how disabled and non-disabled bodies ('we') are being formed in and through social spaces.

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
