Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The sotho speaking people of Lesotho value their indigenous family culture and independent development path. The influence from their bigger South African neighbour, (especially since Lesotho males of working age are drawn massively for the South African mines) has tended over the years to affect sotho culture adversely. This external influence is further exacerbated by the dysfunctional indigenous practice of “setsoalle”, a euphemism for ‘nyatsi’. All these make some of the ‘nouveau riche’ sotho mines workers to marry and divorce, snatch other people’s wives; and even co-habit with single girls. Because of the prevalence of female single parents and cohabitants, the marriage culture and family system are changing. The government is taking steps to cater and contain most illegitimate children who are mostly products of this new structure. Family laws of Lesotho do not recognize these children born out of wedlock; as children of their biological fathers but only as children of their mothers’ lineage. But for how long will this be, because the family structure is fast changing, as the marriage culture and the entire society are in a state of flux.

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 distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
