Abstract
Abstract The climate crisis is, in part, a storytelling crisis. This idea has motivated my work as a climate justice activist in Germany and the UK for the past decade. Here, I introduce how I have combined creative practices (e.g., Theatre of the Oppressed, mindfulness, storytelling) into a method—“Tales of Transformation”—that works with stories and narratives for climate justice. This approach helps deconstruct existing, often limiting, climate narratives and their internalized effects and facilitates an imaginative and reflective exploration into alternative, empowering, and regenerative narratives, allowing activists to craft imaginaries where environmental degradation has been overcome. The method includes embodied, emotional, intuitive, or spiritual knowledge in these processes of deconstruction and world-making.

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
