Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This special section examines ancient Maya childhood from the perspectives of relationality and relational ontologies. Relational approaches are useful for understanding childhood as they help move beyond the objective of only ‘finding children’ to underscore how children play a larger relational role in social, environmental, material, and cosmological worlds. Furthermore, the focus on children among these relational worlds provides critical perspectives on who and what can be considered human and how social persons come into being. The contributors engage, in particular, with Indigenous Maya ontologies in their examination of childhood as a foundational process in the making of social personhood.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
