Abstract
Abstract: The article explores the complex notion of wildness that characterizes the twelve stories of Percival Everett’s Damned If I Do and examines the palindromic nature of meaning that sheds light on the coherence of the collection. Everett’s stories belong to a literary tradition, dating back to the nineteenth century, that celebrates life in an almost Edenic Western landscape. The violence, the humour, and the flights of creative fancy that characterize Damned If I Do point to an understanding of the wilderness that informs both the diegetic world and the textual nature of that world.

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 it
