Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Humankind does not live by bread alone. Fowl, fish, and beef are staples of our appetite. These creatures are slain before they reach our dinner tables; killing is part and parcel of the human birthright. Butchering animals to fulfill our omnivorous nature, for survival and supremacy, for the pleasures of the palate, is an important side of what transpires between humans and other species. But it is not the only one; there are powerful and cherished bonds between Homo sapiens and select groups of animals. In 2005-2006, Americans possessed about 90 million cats, 73 million dogs, 16 million birds, and 11 million reptiles. Excluding fish, that makes for 190 million pets (http://channels.isp.netscape.com/homerealestate/feature.jsp?story=rainingcatsanddogs).

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.
