Abstract
This article explores the sandplay process of a woman, age 73, who was experiencing despair during an intensive life crisis. Deceived and abandoned by her husband, she felt overwhelmed with feelings of hopelessness and psychically torn into pieces. Crying and talking brought her no relief from her desperation. In the attentive silence of sandplay therapy she found her "stillpoint…at crossroads" and the ability to go deep and get herself back together again. The client unexpectedly encountered the wound of an early childhood trauma. She lost her father at the age of 3 through an act of violence. Through sandplay therapy deep metaphors and symbolism emerged. This article explores the therapeutic process of how the client's sandplay depicted the central theme of death, dismemberment and rebirth. It resonates with the resurrection myth of Osiris. The symbols and colors used in the trays indicate the alchemical transformation process which was taking place. The stages of transformation in this process are reviewed and reflected upon. The central archetypal image in that of the mountain. This article is a proceeding from "Finding the Stillpoint…at the Crossroads," the 23rd ISST Congress, Ottawa, Canada, 2015.

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.
