Abstract
Partiendo del enfasis de Marshall McLuhan sobre que el medio es el mensaje, se realizan algunas consideraciones sobre como el medio afecta a los contenidos y significados de los documentos. Las normas de descripcion como, como ISAD (G), el borrador de Records in Contexts: Conceptual Model, y las Rules for Archival Description de Canada mantienen implicitamente que la mediacion solo ocurre cuando se requiere que un dispositivo reproduzca un documento, como cuando se reproduce una grabacion sonora, o un registro digital se representa en una pantalla de ordenador. A traves de diversos ejemplos que incluyen la correspondencia del siglo XVIII, registros de los indigenas norteamericanos, como los cinturones de wampum [Cinturon de fibra vegetal en que iban engarzados pequenos trozos de estas conchas, que servia para hacer trueques, para sellar acuerdos], y documentos creados en los micrordenadores de los ochenta, se defiende que la mediacion tiene dimensiones tecnologicas y culturales. Entendidos de esta manera, se entiende que todos los medios de comunicacion median en los mensajes que codifican, a menudo de forma que no percibimos sesgos culturales debido que lo hacen de manera parezcan naturales. Los archivos de la descolonizacion requieren que evitemos los sesgos eurocentricos hacia ciertas formas de documentos y medios, y que nos esforcemos para descodificar incluso aquellas mediaciones que realizamos de forma inconsciente. Starting from Marshall McLuhan’s emphasis on media over message, I consider some ways the media of archival records affect the content and meanings of records. Descriptive standards such as ISAD(G), the draft standard Records in Contexts: Conceptual Model, and Canada’s Rules for Archival Description implicitly maintain that mediation only happens when a device is required to play a record – as when an audio recording is played, or a digital record is rendered on a computer screen. Through diverse examples including eighteenth-century correspondence, North American Indigenous records such as belts of wampum, and records created on 1980s microcomputers, I argue that mediation should be understood to have technological and cultural dimensions. Defined in this way, all media are understood to mediate the messages that they encode, often in ways that we do not see due to cultural biases that make some media, and mediations, seem “natural.” Decolonizing archives requires that we avoid Eurocentric biases towards certain record forms and media, and that we do more to decode even those mediations that we perform without conscious thought.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
