Abstract
This paper introduces a theoretical framework to fill a gap in our understanding of refugeeness. Based on material gathered from a series of interviews undertaken as part of an exploratory study completed in Montreal, Canada, refugee claimant subjectivity is empirically explored by examining the social construction of refugees' subjectivity in three major spheres of life: work, family and state. Within this theoretical perspective two linked research questions are addressed, namely: (1) What is the impact of refugee policy on refugee claimants? and (2) How is their subjectivity altered by the refugee determination process? The objective is to understand the impact of a particular discourse on an individual's subjectivity in relation to that discourse. Refugee claimant subjectivity is analysed through those conscious thoughts and emotions expressed by subjects, their way of understanding their refugee claimant subjectivity and their social world, in large part defined by Canadian refugee policy.

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
