Abstract
This paper begins with a brief review of existing social movement scholarship on the \nstudy of affect that can be applied to protest camps. We then introduce our \nCampfire Chats methodology and describe its operationalisation through pilot \nruns in Ottawa and Montreal. Following from this, we move into a discussion of \nfindings arising from this first set of Campfire Chats to explore the roles affect plays \nin specific acts of ‘building together’ at Occupy protest camps. We conclude by \nlooking at the possibilities for expanding this methodological framework more \nbroadly to study protest camps and related, place-based political groups, \norganisations and movements [Taken from Introduction]

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
