At the Gates of Fortress North America: Race-Ing the Spp and its Political Subject
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The events of 11 September 2001, as Judith Butler has noted, were experienced by Westerners as “a loss of their First Worldism.” North American deep integration is characterized, therefore, as an effort to retrieve a sense of invulnerability under the putative conditions of globalization and insecurity. As the powerful business lobby, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE), asserted, “in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, it…has become clear that North American economic and physical security are indivisible.” Accordingly, the Independent Task Force on the Future of North America, sponsored in 2005 by the CCCE, the US Council on Foreign Relations, and the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales, recommended “the creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity and opportunity… Its boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products and capital will be legal, orderly and safe.”

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
