Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The results of a conference held at Harvard in 2006, the collected papers address the demographic process associated with the transition from a hunter-gatherer economy to an agricultural economy in the Neolithic. This newly identified process is characterized by a dramatic increase in birth rate and a concomitant population explosion: the sequence is known as the Neolithic Demographic Transition (henceforth, NDT) and has been detected across Europe, North America, Mesoamerica and South America. The NDT is based on mortality rates, usually from cemetery data, and the methodological innovation of a relative rather than absolute chronology, thus allowing for a more global evaluation of the phenomenon.

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.
