Abstract
Abstract: In Back to the Future 1 and Part II, The Ice Storm, and The Virgin Suicides the negative effects of suburbanization are written onto the nature it purports to provide its residents. The cultural and economic logic of sprawl generates a built environment that accelerates the energy-crisis apocalypse tasted during the 1973 energy crisis. The paradoxes of suburban ideology generate unsustainable—even fatal—built environments, figuring two apocalypses as competing for space in suburban narratives: the concrete-grey and the green. In the grey, all hell breaks loose when the built environment can no longer deliver on suburban ideology's promises. But suburban ideology so drives American culture that hell must be displaced onto terrorists, weather, and parenting to make the future safe by keeping it recognizably suburban, literally concrete. The potential green apocalypse—what a return to nature would actually entail—critically engages the concrete-grey apocalypse, but at the cost of (suburban) life as we know its obsolescence.

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.
