Abstract
The significance of microbes in relation to a queer perspective on being is central to my thought process around this work. They/Them/Their was titled in reference to my gender pronouns and also to the multitude of microbes we coexist with. When framing the human in relation to prokaryotes (bacteria), we learn that they outnumber us in our own bodies as well as in the population on Earth, not just in numbers of individuals, but in total biomass as well. Microbes reproduce in myriad ways and cannot be defined by gender. If microbes are without gender and they make up at least half of our human selves, then are we are all pluralities? Are we are all they, them, and their?

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
