Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Shaping civilization across the ages, the myth of the Ideal City has reverberated through Western city-form from Plato to this day. While the intrinsic structure of Plato’s Ideal City was mirrored in the perceived constitution of the human soul, the physical design of the Ideal City, as outlined in Plato’s legend of Atlantis, corresponds to his vision of the universe at the very end of the Republic. The Platonic attempt to emulate universal perfection in the Ideal City has been manifest throughout the history of the city. It grew hand in hand with a companion allegory – that of the Grand Designer. Whereas the inherently masculine paradigms of the Ideal City and the Grand Designer have shaped Western city-form across historic times since antiquity, the feminine myth of the Garden has been all but excluded from a design expression in the city.

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.
