Abstract
This chapter explains the Deleuzo-Guattarian concepts of becoming-minoritarian, weapons and tools, and puts them together with their closely aligned concept of the assemblage. The possibility exists, then, of connecting online social media users with protest participants for the purposes of squelching dissent. Demonstrating an inherent tetravalence, Deleuze and Guattari describe the feudal assemblage, considering all the interminglings of bodies that define the institution of feudalism: The body of the earth and the social body; the body of the overlord, vassal, and serf; the body of the knight and the horse and their new relation to the stirrup; the weapons and tools assuring a symbiosis of bodies-a whole machinic assemblage. Using the latest in live streaming technology, teams of media activists from Montreal's Concordia University Television (CUTV) took to the streets, marching alongside protesters, filming the demonstrations and instantly live streaming those images to the Internet, beaming them to computers across the province, country and in fact the world.

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
