Occult Chemistry and the Theosophical Aesthetics of the Subatomic World
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Plutôt que d’étudier l’influence de la théosophie sur les débuts de l’art abstrait, cet article prend pour objet la culture visuelle de la théosophie elle-même, en particulier les efforts déployés par Annie Besant et C.W. Leadbeater pour utiliser les transcriptions visuelles de l’expérience clairvoyante comme données scientifiques . Ces données ayant rapidement revêtu une dimension esthétique, le monde invisible des particules subatomiques a suscité un croisement entre la physique atomique et de l’occultisme qui a influencé la culture visuelle de la théosophie. L’accent mis sur la recherche expérimentale a poussé cette dernière à se détacher de l’esthétique symboliste axée sur la rêverie pour s’intéresser à l’abstraction des transcriptions « scientifiques » en Thought-Forms et aux géométries abstraites de la Occult Chemistry .

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.
