Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

At once sinister and hilariously funny, darkly ominous and positively hopeful, One Yellow Rabbit’s superbly crafted performance of Thunderstruck, or The Song of the Say-Sayer is very possibly tragicomedy at its most eerie. With Linda Gaboriau’s finely tuned translation of Daniel Danis’s lyrical Le Chant du dire-dire in hand, One Yellow Rabbit premiered the play’s English version at home in Calgary at their Big Secret Theatre in February 1999, subsequently hopped over to the Traverse for the 2000 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and eventually, in December 2000, made their way to Toronto’s Factory Theatre, all under the astute direction of Blake Brooker. At its simplest, Thunderstruck is the story of the Lastings. After their adoptive parents are killed by lightning during a freak storm, three brothers (Rock, William and Fred-James) and a younger sister (Naomi) are left to raise themselves, while fending off the “Municipals,” their name for town officials and general busybodies.

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.
