Abstract
Beginning as a small assignment which ought to have taken two days, it soon ballooned into a three month project looking at the Cuban political system and the farming sector’s role in developing not only Socialist theory, but Socialism in practice. As the collapse of Cuban Socialism has been expected for the past four decades by Western scholars and lawmakers, this very same inevitability has perplexed its proponents as it continues to not occur. Cuba has been under embargo by the United States for over sixty years now, and its tremendous pressure on the Socialist government has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and hurricane Ian. One ought to ask the question, then, how Cuba remains so resilient after the collapse of the USSR. Although not a conclusive reason as to why Socialism remains prevalent in Cuba, this essay looks at one aspect of this new Cuban Socialism and its successes -- that being its farming systems. By looking at the roles polycultural cropping and alternative incentive schemes play in Cuba, I conclude that they both play a vital role in the development and reinforcement of Socialism in the island nation.

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
