Abstract
This study considers the views on death elaborated by several influential representatives of modern psychology from Gustav Fechner and William James to Carl Rogers and B. F. Skinner. It shows that, despite ample differences in theoretical orientation, it is possible to find in these views a measure of agreement concerning the psychological implications of the adult person’s awareness of death. This limited consensus coalesces around the claim that facing one’s finiteness can promote personal growth in the second half of life; that the psychological encounter with death occurs in many guises; that this confrontation is arduous, for the acknowledgment of one’s mortality is associated with fears and anxieties; and that in such an undertaking one can draw support from beliefs that promote the symbolical transcendence of individual finiteness.
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.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
