Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Michael Macina was raised in Toronto and graduated in 1973 from Saint Michael’s College with a specialist degree in French and English literature to which he added in 1974, an M.A. in Drama. After more than thirty years in theatre and film, he returned to the University of Toronto’s Graduate Centre for Study of Drama in 2001 and, while battling serious illness and working against the clock, he was in the process of completing a thesis entitled “Institutional Incursions into National Identity: New Play Development in Canada 1970-2000” when he died in 2006. Though I was technically directing this thesis, Michael worked in an unconventional way, treating his work as an organic whole. He was therefore very reluctant to share many pieces, since he was never sure where they would ultimately fit. Part of what I read concerned the transformative power of the theatre experience from the point of view of producer-creators and consumer-audiences. Michael was not looking necessarily for great big mystical moments, considering small moments and small perceptions as equally valid.

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.
