Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Seuls (translated as Alone in its English version) is a Franco-Belgian comic series created by the scriptwriter Vehlmann and the artist Gazzotti. It tells the story of children who are dead and in limbo. While the world of limbo seems entrenched in two camps on the verge of a war which the main characters have been given the mission to stop. If they are successful, they may be able to leave the in-between world in which they currently are. Drawing on the works of Mircea Eliade and Bruno Bettelheim on rites of passage and fairy tales, respectively, this article suggests that getting lost is a necessity for the heroes of Seuls in order for them to reemerge as higher selves capable of moving past a Manichean worldview, just like children do in order to reach adulthood, but also to reach a more elevated life in the purely spiritual realm.

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.

Not 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.
