Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper applies a hauntological framework to explore how health citizenship in the UK is shaped by the spectral presence of neoliberal policies, particularly through increased use of Public‐Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS). The NHS is considered a keystone of national identity in the UK on account of its core socialist and humanitarian principles. However, decades of neoliberal policies, and particularly the growing implementation of PPPs, have created increased dissonance between the NHS as ideation and the NHS as a material, place‐based health service. I explore how these changes manifest in my father's experiences of a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), considering the spectral significance of the systemic relationships, care pathways, collective imaginaries, and vital functions that are folded into this object, and by extension my father's health citizenship. Assembling hauntological concepts and healthcare experiences, I explore how the CGM mediates between life, care, and industry to illuminate evolving forms of health citizenship in contemporary welfare health systems.

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
