Abstract
Roots, Pathways and Trajectories: Processes of Oscillation"A lot of people will say, 'mi hear say yuh live a foreign' .Unno can gwaan!Any which part mi live: Toronto, London, Florida […] a Jamaica mi deh.Jamaica mi deh all the time!" -Miss Lou 1In times of increased migration and mobility research, it seems as if people, images, objects and culture are in constant flux.Attempts to describe these flows and fluctuations are manifold, with people being dispersed, displaced, deterritorialized (Glick Schiller et al. 1992; 1995; Appadurai 1990), reterritorialized, in '-scapes' (Appadurai 1991; 1996), 'hyper-mobile' (Gössling et al. 2012), cosmopolitan (Vertovec 2009), fluid, altogether nomads 'on the move' (Cresswell 2006; Gupta/Ferguson 1997).As a result, various studies about movement are closely linked to globalization processes, which challenge the idea of the interconnection of culture, people, and places.However, quite contrary to contemporary assumptions, movement and mobility are not new phenomena of the globalized world.Historical events give rise to the assumption that border crossing migration and mobility have long been a norm and survival strategy (see Jónsson 2008) to many people, including Jamaicans.Jamaica has a longstanding and ongoing "culture of migration" (see Thomas-Hope 2002; Cohen 2004; Hahn/Klute 2007), which makes studying mobility central to analysing its cultural meaning and measuring socio-cultural changes over time.Even though neoliberalism and capitalism both enhanced mobility in terms of socio-economics, governments worldwide often recognize mobility as a threat that needs to be ordered, regulated, and restricted (Scott 1998).In the Jamaican case, these regulatory policies are felt due to, e.g., new immigration laws by the United Kingdom in 2003, by the United States after 9/11 and constant changes in 1 Translation: Many people will say, 'I hear you live abroad'.You can continue to gossip!No matter in which place I live: Toronto, London, Florida […] I am in Jamaica.I am in Jamaica all the time!Transcribed quote from a stage performance of Jamaican comedian, poet and writer Dr. Louise Simone Bennett-Coverley (1919-2006) who is lovingly called 'Miss Lou' (Caribbean Insight TV 2018).

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.
