Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Swing music was a source of power during the Second World War. Musicians provided entertainment and formed a focal point for socialization and relief from the tensions of conflict. Despite this power, its potential to act as a greater agent of societal change remained untapped. With the exception of the occasional vocalist, jazz bands were largely populated by male musicians. Unlike other war work, where women were accepted to fill essential roles, men continued to dominate swing as leaders, soloists, and band members. But what if women had replaced male musicians in jazz at this time? How would music, and indeed society, be changed in its present form? Part analysis and part speculative fiction, this article imagines the impact that simple changes may have wrought in promoting gender equality in jazz.

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.

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.
