Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Though the theoretical study of narrative and the practice of creative writing are usually treated as distinct, even as oppositional, there are places of illuminating convergence, such as the stories and novels of John Barth. Yet on the part of writers a deep distrust of narrative theory persists, a romantic resistance to becoming conscious of fictional forms. This sometimes-justified suspicion of the thought-out as opposed to the felt, often with rooted beliefs in the Muse or the Unconscious or the Body, nourishes a mystique of the inspired artist. But this wish for spontaneous, untutored originality conflicts with the very etymology of”narrating”, which means “knowing”.

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.
