Abstract
The Mesopotamian religious system had an explicit theocentric nature, as divine figures were understood as the raison d’être for all cosmic aspects and events. Hence, deities were conceived as possessing a transcendental power, which enabled them to control all cosmos and, as such, to freely move between cosmic domains. Yet, their authority and autonomy were not absolute when referring to the Netherworld, the cosmic realm of the dead. The features of this space, which were very particular, seemed to constrain divine figures. Several Sumero-Akkadian mythic compositions clearly show that deities could not act as they pleased in this realm. As such, with this paper, we intend to analyze the specific characteristics and rules of this space, exploring the impact they had on deities and, consequently, on their transcendental power.

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
