Abstract
A tension exists between traditional notions of archival theory, and indeed the nature of theory itself, and the global diversity that CITRA seeks to recognize and promote in archival practice. Traditional archival theory, that arose out of a particular cultural and historical milieu of nineteenth-century European bureaucracies, may work against diversity, overlook local community needs, and fail to appreciate the historical contingencies inherent to practice.

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
