Abstract
This article examines the specific formulation multiculturalism takes on in Northern Ireland, both as an explanatory concept and a practice aimed at solving the conflict. First, we explore the origins of multiculturalism as a theory which emerged mainly in Canada among liberal thinkers. Then we look at the attraction of this model in Northern Ireland whereby the conflict is explained as resulting from a lack of recognition of “cultural identities,” each community being perceived as possessing its own, clearly distinct culture. After pointing out that the acceptance of the “multiculturalist” model is not unanimous in Northern Ireland, we highlight the danger of a reification of cultures inherent in that theory. We argue that “culture” and “community” are not necessarily the one and same thing. As it is applied in Northern Ireland, the multiculturalist model leads us to neglect the political significance of segregation. We think there is in fact a common culture of conflict between the two communities in Northern Ireland.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
