Abstract
Abstract Although Ṣādeq Hedāyat’s works were first published in Iran more than eighty years ago, he remains one of the much-discussed and analyzed modern Iranian authors, both in Iran and abroad. The premise of this article is that the continuing fascination with Hedāyat and the intense focus on his most enigmatic works is partially due to his ability to cast well-established Persian cultural paradigms in novel, unfamiliar moulds. That preconception is tested in two ways: First, by examining trends in the literary discourse about Hedāyat (in Persian, in Iran; and English-language academic publications in the West); and secondly, through textual analysis of a short story, which demonstrates his ability to “defamiliarize the familiar”, thus using traditional templates to modern ends.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
