Abstract
Oftentimes when thinking about the plantocracy, slavery and the Circum-Caribbean region, the first thing that comes to mind is the suffering endured by millions of Indige- nous populations, genocide and forced African migrants, enslaved, and tortured for the singular benefit of European enrichment. Any historical thought process is usually followed by a celebration of the region’s nutrient rich soil, an ideal climate for successful agriculture. However, there are further aspects that are not often given due weight in consideration, including the numerous subtle and intricately intertwined ways Colonialism impacted the region scientifically, specifically through disease and immunological degradation. This research paper seeks to highlight and consid- er the multiple ways in which the region was not only affected but also infected by disease and Colonialism.

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
