Abstract
This paper explores the social profit – a category derived from neo-structuralist economics – as a tool of planning in Venezuelan state enterprises. Drawing on fieldwork on an industrial farm in the western plains, it investigates the potential of this category for liberating Venezuela from its reliance on petrodollars, while facilitating endogenous development. As a metric for resource allocation and cost accounting, the social profit orients the productive and commercial activities of state enterprises towards the recycling of rentier surpluses, alongside provision of goods and services which can defray costs of operation. Yet, contrary to officially stated aims of building a socialist economy at the service of human needs, participant-observation in these sites reveals that the device does not fully negate the tensions associated with the realization of value and that struggles over wages and the intensity of labour continually surface in the enterprises.

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
