Abstract
A s Morris's book-and Liffman's review of it-make abundantly clear, the Gran Nayar is one of the most culturally significant regions in Mexico, and its unique and complicated history is the basis of its significance to the people who live there, as well as to others whose lives have been changed by it.In this brief comment on both Morris's book and Liffman's detailed review of it, I would just like to re-emphasize the profound importance of the ancient but still very much alive Mesoamerican religious traditions that made life worth living for the Indigenous peoples of the region during the period covered by Morris's book, and thus the crucial role that these traditions must have played in the regional events that the book sees as part of the larger Mexican Revolution and post-Revolutionary Mexican state formation.In this respect, Soldiers, Saints, and Shamans will hopefully set the stage for a reconsideration of the role played by these violent military campaigns-based on what increasingly appear to be bizarre nationalist fantasies-in the much more important and long-lasting Indigenous histories of the region, which we have every reason to believe will continue long after the collapse of the contemporary Mexican nation and with it the global system of nation-states.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
