Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The following paper is a theoretical perspective on identity and embodiment disintegration in designed virtual sex involvements. The study data, derived from avatar sex participant interviews and virtual world field observations demonstrates the variance of enacted cognitive processes in the progressions of anticipatory desire and realized interactions. It is suggested that we design our selves and our worlds in anticipation of involvements and, reciprocally, in the acts of involving with these designed worlds and selves we, in turn, are progressively defined and modified. To designate worlds of potential involvement is to engage in a relentless struggle with incongruity. The empirical disintegration of self and world is an ongoing fact, emergent with ongoing re-designation and re-integration of self and world. This essay highlights the role of emphatic congruence assessments in the disintegrating involvements of avatar sex and intimacy.

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.
