Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, a noticeable shift occurred in the plots and soundtracks of narrative film in the United States. The genre of horror came to occupy a leading position among new releases (<italic>Rosemary’s Baby</italic>, 1968; <italic>The Devils</italic>, 1971; <italic>The Exorcist</italic>, 1973; <italic>The Omen</italic>, 1976), accompanied by music that would invert the signification of the church’s most sacred spiritual heritage: Latin became the language of the devil and chant his music. This chapter explores the historical and cultural bases for this turn to the dark side, to an <italic>evil medieval</italic>, by examining such concurrent events as Vatican II, the publication of Anton LaVey’s <italic>The Satanic Bible</italic>, the Charles Manson murders, and the Vietnam War.

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.

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.
