The chuse: Memories of a "sacred mantle"
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The chuse or chusi is a textile of pre-Hispanic origin. Made on four-stakes looms, thick and simple in design, its use extends throughout the central Andes. In the domestic environment, it is used as a blanket, and in the sacred (inside the temples), covering the floor or the steps of the central altars. The mention of these in inventories during the 18th century, in Andean temples of Arica and Parinacota, shows the monetary and cultural value that was given to them.The precarious state of conservation, the loss of the craft of its manufacture in the Chilean territory as a result of the Chileanization (post Pacific War), depopulation, among others, open the investigation of this textile, of common and widespread use in the Andean area, whose deep cultural and ritual meaning, contains an exceptional wealth. In this article we will try to give an account of these aspects, based on the methodology of material culture studies, from the vestiges of chuses in temples in the "highlands of Arica", in particular, in the town of Pachama.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
