Abstract
Three generations of Indo-Trinidadian women are the major subjects in the stories that emerge as the researcher/writer situates herself as an Indo-Caribbean Canadian. A traditionally patriarchal culture has previously rendered women as minor characters within the literature of the region. The writer gains new perspective after leaving a home country that has been characterised by colonisation. This work explores threads of memory in retrieving stories that are at risk of disappearing over time. Customs that characterised life for earlier generations of Indo-Trinidadian women show up as interesting details, giving insight into the resilience of people who had limited circumstances in rural Trinidad. As the generations progress, and as there is more urban exposure, identity is complicated by the dominant Trinidadian Creole culture. The stories offer glimpses into lives where traditional Indian culture morphs into a unique Indo-Trinidadian one. The three women embrace assimilation into a larger Trinidadian culture, but in varying degrees. For the researcher, learning to write about Indo-Trinidadian women’s experiences is as important as the stories that are written. Through interviews, questioning, authoethnography, memory work, and storytelling, events are reconstructed from snippets of inherited fragments of experiences.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
