NOT AN ABSENT ORDER BUT "AN ORDERED ABSENCE": LIFE CYCLE POEMS IN MARGARET ATWOOD'S ECOPOETRY
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nature abuse is commonly ascribed to man's will to impose order on it. Humanity's anthropocentric violations of Nature, Margaret Atwood believes, stem from their sense of lack of order in it or their inability to understand this order. So they begin imposing theirs as poet highlights in Progressive Insanities of a Pioneer (The Animals in That Country 36-39, 1968). The poem depicts a European pioneer's disharmony and lack of unity with wild lands of Canada. To appease his feelings of dislocation on this new land, he begins doing what he excels at: enforcing his order on land to retain feelings of security through controlling his unsystematic surroundings. [D]isgusted at hearing random Natural sounds of the swamp's clamourings and outbursts / of rocks, he arrogantly declares: This is not order / but / of order. // He was unanswering / implied. The forest assures that pioneer is wrong, and poet playing with words affirms that: It was / an absence. The present paper highlights Atwood's presentation of this ordered absence which appears clearly in her life cycle poems in light of Ecocriticism. The poems shed light on poet's rhapsodic ecopoetry that celebrates a universal Natural discipline.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
