Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Durkheim was concerned with the anomie generated by a social order too strongly oriented to economic activity and the pursuit of wealth. His last book, The Elementary Forms of Religious Life, is an exploration of the social basis of knowledge and moral authority, but also prospectively links economic life to its religious sources and to “mana.” Despite his sociological-moral concerns with diminished moral authority in an emerging industrial, market society, The Elementary Forms of Religious Life provides an analytical framework from which to analyze the totemic nature of stock and financial markets. While contemporary financial markets reveal dangers for solidarity, and demonstrate the continuing relevance of Durkheim’s sociological-moral concerns, the analysis of “the market” offers an opportunity to extend the Durkheimian interest in emerging totemic entities and forms of the sacred.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
