Abstract
Popol Vuh, which means “book of the counsel”, is traditionally considered a mytho-history of the “quiche” (written as “Ki’che” some times), Mayan Indians who lived in Central America (it’s territory coincides today with Guatemala). This text registers the myth about the creation of the Universe and the quiche people, and the geneology of the tribe, beginning with a narration like the biblical Genesis and ending with the conquest by the Spanish soldiers. Popol Vuh mainly has been considered the best reflection of the pre-Hispanic native voice and studied like the history and the anthropology of the Mesoamerican tribe, always with emphasis on its native facets. Nevertheless, many common points can be found in the story of Popol Vuh and the traditional European folktale. In this paper, we try to analyze this Mesoamerican myth using the theory formulated by Vladimir Propp in Morphology of the Folktale. This morphological reading of the text conduces us to the hypothesis, that is, far away from being a native myth and Indian auto-etnography, Popol Vuh much possibly may be a “mestizo” of two cultures: not only the Indian and the European cultural mixture, but also the official religion mix with the popular tales.

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.
