Abstract
In this chapter, I describe the approaches used in this study and argue for the necessity of a postcolonial analysis of confluence. I also outline this study’s focus on historical continuities by attending to the temporal (that which is dynamic and changing and that which is continuous yet carried through time). I outline what is drawn on (partially) from Foucauldian genealogical analysis and how this method departs from this. I also illustrate how the method used in this study attends to material continuities (how projects of nation building relied/rely on eugenic and racial knowledge formations and disciplinary processes and laws) through an attention to processes that discursively frame people to construct, legitimize, and authorize violence. By acknowledging that all our interpretive and discursive structures are subject to historical influence, it is also pertinent that we disclose the horizon of these interpretations. As Hans-Georg Gadamer made very clear in his magnum opus Truth and Method, every person has a historically effected consciousness, making claims to objective knowledge impossible. Through our concurrence with this position, we can appreciate that all vantage points are partial, contingent, and subject to representation and interpretation. The horizon of interpretation in this study is committedly focused with an attention to the levels of analyses and contribution provided by postcolonial theory.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
