Abstract
Originally from Canada and sent to the Philippines in 1921, the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception (MIC) were entrusted with the administration of the Chinese General Hospital in Manila. This mission put them in contact with many immigrants and residents from China. This paper examines the multiple challenges that the sisters met in dealing with a dying population they were trying to convert in the face of well established Buddhist and Taoist beliefs and practices. The sisters fought against these practices, turning the hospital where they worked into a place of ontological confrontation. Distributing medals and images of the Virgin Mary, the sisters also contributed to the plasticity of the existing Chinese religious traditions, especially the devotion to Santa Maria. The dedication of the sisters to care and education as well as their tolerance allowed them to develop lasting and profitable relationships with their patients. The Christianization of the Chinese nevertheless remained incomplete, their centuries-old traditions persisting. In the anthropological study of missions, this case study shows that misunderstandings often remain at the heart of the conversion process.

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
