Abstract
Theatre scholars with an interest in absurdism are likely to find the name Margaret Hollingsworth oddly out of place on a list including such canonical representatives as Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionesco, Harold Pinter, and Vaclav Havel. This is particularly the case given that the playwright is a contemporary Canadian woman and a feminist. The profits of this inclusion are found in its very disjunction: to consider Hollingsworth as absurdist is at once a challenge to the male exclusivity that is a defining feature of absurdism and an argument for revitalizing absurd ism as a contemporary critical term. Indeed, I contend that much of Hollingsworth's drama draws from, and is illuminated by, consideration of absurdist technique, philosophy, and subject positions. Further, she deploys absurdism in a manner that foregrounds gender concerns and so points to the exclusion — or incomprehension — of gender as a controlling framework of meaning in the established tradition. As such, Hollingsworth's dramatic vision presents the potential for an enlivening new critical conception: the feminist absurd."

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
