Abstract
The label of "patient-partner" is widely used when referring to a person living with a specific health condition that participates in research teams or consults on clinical practice guidelines. However, being a patient-partner says nothing about one's potential role outside a biomedical context. Labeling a person as such can be detrimental to their perception of themselves. The intention of this paper is to provide a philosophical conceptual framework to understand the complexities and consequences of labeling people as patients outside of direct healthcare. A philosophical hermeneutic approach was used to explore how labeling and self-stereotyping can affect the patient-partner, leading to the possible erosion of their personhood. The authors suggest that research teams instead employ the more accurate and dignified term, "patient perspective consultant." Accurate titles allow team members to relate to each other, leaving room for everyone to contribute meaningfully. The shift from patient-partner to patient perspective consultant does not change the nature of the role. It clarifies the context through increased accuracy, and adds dignity and purpose.

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
