Abstract
Modern Western society currently privileges aspects of light over dark, which is apparent in issues such as light pollution and human's declining relationship with the darkness of night. This article begins the inquiry into possible healing aspects of individual's lived experiences of Natural Darkness (ND) in overnight recollective practices. Recollective practices aim to heal the dualism of the nature/psyche divide through processes that reintegrate the human psyche with the natural world. Semistructured interviews were conducted with eight participants who described their memories with ND during overnight recollective practices. Participants reported that ND contributed to conditions for rest and reprieve, interconnection with something greater, and processing of psychological material. The variety of experiences of ND reveal that this phenomenon cannot be considered essentially good or bad; healthy or unhealthy. For some, ND provided conditions for psychological healing. For others it induced fear; fear that was potentially overwhelming, as well as fear that contributed to interconnection.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
