Abstract
In this theoretical essay, I try to present underlying and partially implicit indications that intergenerational relationships are reconfiguring during the pandemic. I start by presenting some indications in favor of a change of era, at least some deep changes that are occurring during the pandemic amidst temporal continuity and discontinuity. I follow by looking at the experience of indeterminacy as indicating a state of social transition. I particularly delve into indeterminacy and ambivalence as experienced in relation to identity and temporality. For the latter, I elaborate on the idea that people experience both acceleration and deceleration. Mainly following Mannheim (1982, 1990) all of those indications lead me to argue that intergenerational changes are happening and that they take the form of intergenerational ambivalences. I explain it by suggesting that people are “stuck” between the form and the content of their generational experience as well as between the past and the future.

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
