Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Paul Gilroy criticizes cosmopolitanisms centred on the North Atlantic as constituting simple updates of older imperial themes. Under Spanish colonialism, amaranthus species were banned because their ritual use was perceived as a parody of Catholicism’s Eucharistic rite and a threat to Spanish colonialist hegemony. In a twenty-first- century isomorphism, the amaranth’s adaptive potential has resulted in herbicide-resistant weeds that parody Monsanto’s patented feats of genetic engineering. Unearthing a postcolonial ecology of the amaranth—a genus mostly composed of edible weeds whose significance to national cultures runs concomitant with its cosmopolitan dispersion—might contribute to the project of recuperating cosmopolitanism in a novel way. It reveals a solidarity centred on the Global South articulated through comparativism at the micro level.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
