Abstract
People are being disappeared for expressing their political views. 8Entire categories of people are being dis-identified.Activists and opposing politicians alike are being threatened, doxxed, and murdered for their political work.People are being shot -on military orders -while lining up for desperately needed aid. 9Financial and scientific support for lifesaving vaccines and medical advances are being actively undercut at the very same time as populations under assaultfacing famine, water shortages, and unsanitary conditions -are encountering life-threatening diseases, some thought to have been all but eradicated. 10And, as always (in some form or another), people are being brutally killed, disappeared, and/or indentured or in the service to the imperatives of consolidating wealth and power.We might say 'times like these feel impossible.' Perhaps, though, it is more true to say: at brutal and unnecessary cost, it is precisely times like these that test and push our ideas of what may be imagined as possible.Things are impossibly horrible right now.Life, itself, is not possible for so many members of the terrestrial world.It's no stretch of the imagination to understand why some people think the only plausible solution is for humans to burn everything here to the ground and somehow start all over, clean-slate-style on Mars.Indeed, it is not hyperbolic to repeat: the world is, as they say, "on fire." AndThere is immense and impossible beauty.Incandescent beauty.People, across communities and beyond political borders, are engaged in networks of mutual-aid. 11Communities are finding, naming, and sharing macro-and 8 See https://www.cnn.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
