Abstract
The Consejo Consultivo del Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior (CC‐IME) is a somewhat unusual transnational organization established and funded by the Mexican government in 2003 as a means of maintaining contact with and serving the Mexican diaspora of almost 12 million in the United States and Canada. The 56 Mexican consulates in the United States and Canada conduct elections (or sometimes appoint) around 120 representatives for three‐year terms to serve as an advisory council to represent the needs of the Mexican diaspora before the Mexican government and to strengthen the ties (especially economic and political ties) between the Mexican diaspora in Canada and the United States and the government of Mexico. Previous studies have described the history, purpose, and some of the programs initiated by the Mexican Foreign Ministry (SRE) and the CC‐IME. The story of the CC‐IME, however, is more than can be understood from the perspective of any one state. As a transnational organization at a particular time in history, its operation reflects the perspectives of a host of different entities. Using qualitative research methods and participant observation, this ongoing study employs Mahler and Pessar's geographies of power framework to identify and explore various power hierarchies and special political characteristics of CC‐IME from a variety of perspectives. El Consejo Consultivo del Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior (CC‐IME) es una organización transnacional un poco inusual establecida y fundada por el gobierno mexicano en 2003 como un medio para mantener contacto con, y ayudar a, la diáspora mexicana en los Estados Unidos y Canadá que aproxima los 12 millones. Los 56 consulados en ambos países realizan elecciones (o algunas veces designan) cerca de 120 representantes de expatriados mexicanos para periodos de 3 años para servir como un consejo asesor para representar intereses ante el gobierno mexicano y para fortalecer los lazos (especialmente económicos y políticos) entre expatriados y dicho gobierno. Estudios previos han descrito la historia, propósito, y algunos de los programas iniciados por la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE) y el CC‐IME. La historia del CC‐IME, sin embargo, supera lo que puede ser comprendido desde la perspectiva de un estado. Siendo una organización transnacional en un momento particular de la historia, su funcionamiento refleja las perspectivas de una gran diversidad de actores. Utilizando un método cualitativo de investigación y de observación de los participantes, este proyecto (en proceso) utiliza el marco de las geografías del poder de Mahler y Pessar para identificar y explorar varias jerarquías de poder y características políticas especiales del CC‐IME desde una variedad de perspectivas.

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
