Abstract
A persistent rumor claims that beneath the foundations of the four strategic villages built during Argentina’s last dictatorship in Tucumán, the military buried corpses of the disappeared. This article aims to explore how the memory of what happened during the dictatorship is intertwined with, persists through, and is altered by the infrastructure built by the military. In other words, it examines the interaction between memories of violence and material traces in the aftermath. The article analyzes how the content of rumor continues to affect the very spatiality of the strategic villages but also the community of people who know and share the rumor. It is also explored how this spatiality reveals a very complex network of suspicions about the population still living inside the strategic villages. Finally, the article shows that silence prevails inside the strategic village and explore who silence help to create and maintain distance from violent episodes. Both rumor and silence surrounding the alleged mass graves activate and expose the underlying tensions in a territory still deeply affected by state-sponsored violence.

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
