The One Is the Many: Buddhist Relational Holism in Uno e altri amori by Carlo Coccioli
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The literary production of Carlo Coccioli in the 1980s is characterized by a growing interest in Hinduism and Buddhism, supported by and in turn reinforcing his strong sense of compassion and proximity towards more-than-human forms of life. In particular, in the collection of short stories Uno e altri amori (1984), animals represent a comforting spiritual presence that remains persistent even as the religious and spiritual framing evolves. This essay discusses Coccioli’s horizontal relationship with animals in the light of a relational holism that derives from the author’s interest in Buddhism, in which the absolute and the relative, as well as the one and the many, are conceived in relations of mutual determination. The analysis focuses specifically on three short stories from Uno e altri amori—“Se ci fosse, si saprebbe,” “L’asciugamano di spugna,” and “Salmo XXIII (o theological spiders)”—in which questions of faith are overtly foregrounded, at the same time situating the collection as a whole in the context of Coccioli’s key texts of the 1980s and 1990s: La casa di Tacubaya (1982), Piccolo Karma (1987), and Budda e il suo glorioso mondo (1990).

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
