Abstract
The creative and scholarly writings of Indigenous Australian authors Ellen van Neerven, Jeanine Leane, and Natalie Harkin form textual networks engaged in rewriting the archives through the affective force of anxiety. In their writings, anxiety holds a temporal forwards-backwardness, the chiasmus of postcolonial haunting. This article develops an account of Indigenous anxiety as it operates in these works, arguing that it must be understood within the concept of Indigenous “all time”, in which all moments are inseparable. Through this lens, anxiety reveals the troubles of modernity – geopolitical contingency; movements of diasporic communities; environmental catastrophe – which are overlaid by a palimpsest of past and future. Providing close readings of these authors’ works, informed by the frame of their critical scholarship on time and Homi Bhabha’s arguments about postcolonial anxiety (1994, 2016), the article argues that these authors reject linear periodizations of colonial logic, embedding disruptive affect in a recursive dynamism that contains record, portent, and possibility.

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
