Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article exists in the fractures of mixed Black and Indigenous life, where recognition fails and refusal is its own kind of clarity. Moving through an ecosystem of memory, archive, and embodied inheritance, it traces how racial and colonial categories attempt to contain those of us at the intersections, fostered and unrecognized by the systems that insist they know who we are. By engaging personal story and critical engagement, the article follows how misrecognition shapes our bodies, families, and political possibilities and how the archive repeats these omissions until we disrupt it. What emerges is not a closed theory but a rehearsal: an experiment in mixed relationality, in tending to grief and future making simultaneously to imagine life beyond the narrow demands of the settler state. This work should be understood as unfinished, contested, and shaped by tension toward the worlds that begin when we stop waiting to be properly named.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
