Abstract
Abstract I propose the anarchival as a performance theory of media relevant to the current moment. Defining an anarchival movement impulse characteristic of post-digital moving image media through the example of “bullet time” key examples from Gap commercials, toThe Matrix, and dance works on stage and screen (Edouard Lock’s Amélia(2002), and Dave St-Pierre What’s Next? (2011)), I then consider how expanded practices of embodiment are taken up by queer and feminist artists in three recent works (Nikki Forrest’s Flip/Bend (2012) Catherine Lavoie Marcus and Priscilla Guy’s Singeries(2016), and WIVES Action Movie (2017).

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
