Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

While belief has been an object of study and has been deployed as an analytical concept throughout the history of anthropology, considerable debate and doubt have emerged over its cross‐cultural utility and clarity as a term. Much critique has centered on the idea of belief as a personal, internalized conviction—a set of associations that may derive too closely from Western, Protestant assumptions. However, past as well as recent work has explored the links between belief and embodiment, seeing both as emergent not only from the cognitive make‐up of humans but also from social practice, including but extending beyond conventional religious ritual.

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. 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.
