Abstract
The jade eucalyptus trees stand in the centre of the village of Aphania, holding secrets, gently exuding their soft scent. The aroma strikes deep chords within me, invoking images of my many walks with many important persons in my life (friends, father, mother, grandfathers, grandmas, aunts and uncles, cousins). This small village was constituted by many different struggles, joys, the sweat of so many ancestors that brought it to life again and again even when it was supposed to disappear. I am remembering as I walk today in the midst of the eucalyptus scents, this village of approximately a 1000, full of life, its cobbled streets walked daily by all peoples, Muslims, Christians, Greek, Turkish, maronites, rich, poor, roma peoples, black, olive-skinned peoples, us. It is in this village that the imperial-sovereign machine ground some of us, and our land, into its surplus, that vital energy that would make possible its most anxious desire, the creation of buffers: ethno-national conflicts. The village next door kicked out much of its population, those Turkish Cypriots who were deemed contaminants to a purist ethno-nationalist project of Greekness.

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
