Abstract
While increasing in popularity, pilgrimages appear to be blurring their distinction with tourism. This research investigates the motivations and meanings behind contemporary pilgrimages along the Camino de Santiago in Spain and the Chemin de Saint Jacques in France. Using both face-to-face interviews and Facebook postings, several motivations and outcomes were identified. First, these pilgrimages often served as a rite of passage. Second, the journey provided an opportunity to disconnect from regular routines to embrace a simpler, slower pace of life. Third, pilgrims fostered a sense of connection to nature and to fellow humans. Fourth, most pilgrims derived a sense of accomplishment from their journey. Finally, for many pilgrims this journey became a part of their personal identity, and many memorialized their pilgrimage through memorabilia or tattoos. Overall, understanding the benefits of leisure is important to understand the benefits that experiences can provide to participants.

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
