Abstract
Abstract This article examines the relations of power experienced by Venezuelan refugees as they pass through various systems of governance on their journeys. These systems, or constellations of power, include the broken social contract in Venezuela from which refugees are fleeing, the governance imposed by armed groups along the Colombia-Venezuela frontier and elsewhere along the refugee’s journey, the policies of the US, Colombian and other governments, and by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Qualitative methods were employed in the study, which involved 87 semi-structured interviews with Venezuelan refugees between January 2022 and May 2024. This was supplemented by further interviews with leaders of 32 NGOs. Employing the concept of differential inclusion, the central argument here is that an intersectional spectrum of power is observable among Venezuelan refugees, one that is specific to the constellations of power through which refugees pass. As a result, the agency experienced among refugees is highly variable.

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
