Abstract
The confluence of art, politics, and aesthetics has a troubled and troubling history, and the article reflects on that by examining the aesthetics of Uli Edel’s filmDer Baader Meinhof Komplex in terms of its use of iconic historical and—in terms of film history—stereotypical images. The absence of conventional narrative structures in the film opens it up to methods of understanding and critique that use image and montage as a means of analysis, rather than examining a cogent (because absent) narrative. By cataloguing the use of different genre conventions and iconic film images and tropes, the article points toward the development of a “terror(ism)” genre.

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
