Abstract
This paper platforms the popular film, Mean Girls (Michaels & Waters, 2004), to demonstrate how construction of the subject takes place. Deleuze’s political courses of molar, molecular, and lines of flight are used to explore subjectivity through his concept of becoming. How a product of visual culture can be used to explore the subjectivity of adolescent females is demonstrated as the film characters enter continuous states and stages of becoming animal, monster, and woman. The idea of a self that is a shifting identity, influenced by body, mind, and affective response, is defined by Deleuze’s Body without Organs. The Body without Organs is guided by desire and, in fact, is desire. This desire is revealed through meanness. Becoming mean is explored, as an additional stage of becoming that can be particularly visible with girls, in the micro-society of the school.

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
