Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Georges Bataille and Émile Durkheim stand within the same broad tradition of social and anthropological theory, and their work also displays structural affinities in the ways in which they pose questions concerning the definitions of science and relations between science and religion and in the manner in which they represent the process of social inquiry. Rather than using social science as a tool to explain religion as a mere object in a social field, they both, in their own ways, bring religion and science into a dangerous but fruitful proximity to each other, and engage them in a sort of mutual interrogation concerning the status of human being, autonomy and knowledge, and the constitution of social life and of meaning.

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.
