Abstract
In order to avoid problematic assumptions, this article proposes a Brazilian culinary term, ‘feijoada,' as an etic term for concepts of cultural mixture. This emphasizes not what mixed cultural/religious forms are but of how we interpret their meaning. Feijoada is a synonym for ‘mixture’ in Brazilian Portuguese and it has been used in Brazilian social theory. It highlights the weakness of defining mixtures in terms of referential relations to prior elements that came–to–be–mixed. It emphasizes the ideological use of narratives of origins, not allegedly objective truths about those origins; it addresses decolonial critiques of temporality; and it focuses on social, cultural and regional contexts. Feijoada serves as a relatively empty placeholder for cultural/religious phenomena placed on our table: these call first for contextualized interpretation, and only later – if the case warrants – for the use of more prescriptive concepts as labels or models.

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
