Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The analysis of the characteristics of total institutions is the subject of a lengthy essay by Erving Goffman, a Canadian‐born sociologist best known for his complex and subtle contributions to the analysis of social interaction. He defined the term as “a place of residence and work where a large number of like‐situated individuals cut off from the wider society for an appreciable period of time together lead an enclosed formally administered round of life.” Shorter versions of his argument were first published in 1957. It was, however, through the longer paper's appearance as the lead essay in his second book, Asylums , that the concept became best known.

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.
