Abstract
In the second half of this essay about reifications in disease ecology, drawing upon our experience, we propose ideas and practices for invigorating a disease ecology by, and for, the people, guided by pedagogical principles and experiences that do not separate subjects and objects of study into roles and categories. Rather, we envision a disease ecology that seeks to understand relations, processes and contexts driving complex ecological phenomena like disease emergence. In doing so, we examine how science, when brought into a political pedagogy of context and relation, may become surprisingly helpful in moving beyond the false erudition that José Martí critiqued at the start of our colonial capitalist modernity.

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
