Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

After the death of Uncle Jacob, the man who oversaw his education and passage to Canada from Ghana as a penance for having betrayed his father, Samuel inherits his crumbling house. In a moment of triumph, Samuel quits his desperately boring civil service job, and convinces his grudging family to take up residence there. His wife and his odd silent twins reluctantly agree and begin to resurrect the house from the weeds, mould and decay. The deep rot is not only in the house. Their new town also has some very dubious characters. But the real strangeness, if not madness, resides in his very family - most particularly with the twins.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
