Abstract
n this issue of Contingent Horizons we explore the theme of Objects, taking inspiration from what Joe Dumit (2014) calls the Implosion Project.Approaching object constitution generously-as things, artifacts, facts, people, actions, processes, and so on-we ask, what is an object?What objects are central in fieldwork, ethnographies, and imaginaries?How can we trouble the boundaries of an object?And, following Dumit, the articles in this issue connect with the question: how are objects embedded in the world and the world embedded in objects?We are pleased to publish five original articles and a book review in this issue that trace the interconnected dimensions of variegated objects ranging from ordinary "things" to concepts and processes.Beginning with a technological object (primarily thought to access music) Sebastian Oreamuno's article "Plugging into Infrastructures with Happy Plugs Headphones" tracks a nexus of infrastructures that connect across stories of production and capitalist-consumerism, privileges of access and excess, identity construction, social norms, individualism, and the senses.In "Imploding the Diagnostic Statistical Manual: Mental Illness and Beyond" Leslie Vesely considers the dsm as an object and an active agent that participates in the construction and identification of mental illnesses.Recognizing that the dsm is shaped by its socio-political context and informs individual realities, Vesely traces the dsm's socio-institutional entanglements, its dialectic renderings and implications.Jordan Hodgins delves into the object world of an opioid reversal drug in "Infrastructures of Naloxone: Exploring Issues of Distribution and Access," by exploring health infrastructures with a focus on economic and social aspects.

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.
