Abstract
Increased attention to prefiguration in movement research is raising challenging questions about the nature, scope, and operationalization of this concept. We make the case for treating prefiguration as a vocabulary of motive and leverage a historical shift that we identify in the concept’s meaning by introducing a typology that transcends the left-right cleavage: political, social, and personal forms of prefiguration. We hypothesize that movements bundle these forms differently: reformist movements will have a social/personal bundle while revolutionary movements have a political/social bundle. In contrast to this hypothesis, analysis of a far-right movement finds all three forms of prefiguration. This suggests an asymmetry with left-wing prefiguration. Findings from this study have implications for the conceptualization, analysis, and cumulative understanding of movement prefiguration.

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
