Abstract
Abstract This article relates multiplicity and flexibility of ethnic identities to the following three aspects of postmodernity: (a) perpetual redefinition of self by reflexive individuals who constantly receive and evaluate new knowledge; (b) increased global interaction, which expands the number of alternatives for reflexive individuals to chose from; and (c) acceptance of ambivalence in the cultural field, which makes it possible for diverse cultural expressions to coexist. I further suggest that when some people question and redefine the meanings they assign to their ethnic identities, they may internalize the diversity and flexibility of the interpretations they encounter in the diasporic space and the resulting identities may become fragmented. This argument is illustrated by a case study of ethnic identities among former Soviet Jews residing in Toronto, Canada who had left the former Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

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
