Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This essay studies masculine initiation in the Henriad, in the light of James Hillman's conception of the archetypes of puer and senex. The plays presents basically two modes o initiation in the persons of Hal, the senex and Falstaff, the trickster, the shadow of puer. While the former develops his masculinity in the usual heroic mode, the latter develops in a way that suits the puer's development. And the essay argues that Falstaff's initiation through betrayal is a serious parody of Christ's initiation on the cross. The senex-puer polarity as dramatizedin these characters is shown to have significant ethical and political implications as well. The contexts of the plays raise the issue of puer senilis, but here the puer senilis remains only as an ideal, bringing up the question of inevitable loss of soul in an exclusively senex-driven initiatory senex structure, a disturbing culturalproblem we continue to face today.

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.
