Abstract
In 1967, two housewives from the suburbs of Philadelphia performed at the Canadian Centennial Puppeteers of America Festival in Waterloo, Ontario. Alice Swann and Nancy Schmale were neighbors in Concord Park, a subdivision that Civil Rights activist turned housing developer Moris Milgram had designed as an inter-racial community. In the summer of 1961, Schmale saw Bil and Cora Baird’s puppet play, “The Magic Onion” featured in Woman’s Day magazine and persuaded Swann that they should put on the show even though neither of them had any experience performing with puppets. The lifelong interracial friendship they forged in the process is an inspiring example of diversified perspectives speaking up through puppetry arts. The Bairds had provided the title for a theme song – “The Things You Don’t Understand are the Things that You’re Afraid of” – but hadn’t included any lyrics or music with the script. This theme resonated deeply with the Concord Park neighbors who were trying to realize Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s vision of “beloved community.” The case of Alice Swann and the Wonderland Puppet Theatre adds an African American experience to John Bell’s study of American Puppet Modernism .

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
