Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The image of alcohol prevails in John Cheever’s short story The Swimmer. It emerges as different kinds of drinking, and promotes the plot development. This paper intends to examine how Cheever represents alcohol in The Swimmer and how he depicts alcoholic characters, to probe into the significance of the inextricable bond between alcohol and class affiliation, family disintegration and spiritual crisis, and further, to clarify the social and cultural imperatives of alcohol in the context of middle 20th century America, so as to help us learn the power of alcohol, discover why it struggles so much with alcoholic beverages, and shed light on dealing with troubles with alcohol.

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.

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.
