Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Emerging adulthood (encompassing ages 18 to 29) is a period of life scaffolded by societal and developmental expectations of independence. Being confronted by a diagnosis of cancer launches emerging adults into new ways of being, sometimes at odds with these expectations. In this paper, I explore how cancer may be experienced as an interruption to an emerging adult’s lift script, and the expectations of childhood versus youth through an interpretation of Thomas Cole’s Voyage of Life painting series. I explore how cultural and traditional beliefs about one’s youth invoke an articulation of time “as passing” or progressing that a diagnosis of cancer puts into question. Subsequently, I consider how emerging adulthood requires being in a liminal space of self-understanding that is complicated by cancer. To conclude, I discuss Paul Ricoeur’s ideas about narrative identity and self to consider how we may support emerging adults’ capacity for imagination of meaningful familial relationships.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
