Abstract
We describe and theorize how `grass-roots' environmental activists create a `healthy stream' in their municipality. We frame this activity as a work of creating the creek in a new series of relations in the community that are more consistent with those articulated by stream ecology. This work, which we follow by tracing the activists' use of scientific register and inscriptions, involves re-presenting the creek in numerous localities. But this also means literally remaking the creek by engineering it to conform to the configuration of a `healthy stream'. Thus, not only are the discursive relations that create the creek in the municipal hall or local school reconfigured, but the physical relations that construct the material creek are also altered. Highlighting the social-material hybrid from which the activists' agency emerges, we relate the representations, material work and relations they use to transform both the creek and the community.

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
