Abstract
This article is an affective reading of how networked porn texts work to compose what I call an active pornographic space. What differentiates this from the theatrical porn experience of the 1970s and 1980s is the way in which contemporary porn texts may be created and exchanged immediately through networked devices. This phenomenon allows any seemingly non-sexual locale to be incorporated as part of an active pornographic space. While I use Pierre Fitch as an example of how professional porn performers project a pornographic aesthetic onto neighbourhoods like Montreal's Gay Village, I also account for the role that amateur porn performers play within this circulation of sexual affects. I use Brian Massumi's formation of affect theory and Susanna Paasonen's work on pornographic assemblage to argue that the public manifestations of networked porn texts work to visualize typically invisible sexual affects.

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
