Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In 1977, after years of failed socialism and the nationalization of the economy, a newly elected government of Sri Lanka with a pro-Western diplomatic tilt jumpstarted what was avowedly championed as a capitalistic “open economy.” The new government initiated large-scale development schemes, including the construction of several reservoirs and irrigation projects by Britain, Sweden, Germany, and Canada. Other plans included establishing free-trade zones and nurturing what would become the spectacular growth of the nation’s tourist industry. The consequence of the “open economy” was rapid social change, particularly in the Sinhala regions of the country. Westerners seemed to swarm over the island. In the following essay, I reflect on how social change impacts religious culture, specifically focusing on how this change registered at the most important ritual and pilgrimage site for Sinhala Buddhists: the Dalada Maligava (“Temple of the Tooth-Relic”) in Kandy, the last of the traditional royal capitals. I also observe how social change in Sri Lanka is sanctioned by its rationalized associations with the Buddha.

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.
