Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Salvaging Hope is a dystopian adventure novel set in 2024 in which corporations are managing a privatized version of Calgary, Alberta, akin to the other major Canadian cities. In this world, corporate control of major Canadian cities, privatization of services, for-profit health care, and exploitation of fines for high profits reign supreme. The first-person narrator is a neurodivergent & disabled queer woman in her late twenties exploring the intimate connections of identity and the power of an inclusive community against the city’s expanding social barriers and attitudes. Disabled characters in science fiction historically have not been portrayed as hero-capable in storytelling without stigmatization, stereotyping their existences, or curing them of their otherness. In Salvaging Hope, fluid expressions of non-linear time are showcased through the narrator’s perceptions about herself and the expectations of others in the world. Disability is not a monolith, and this manuscript aims to showcase a sampling of diverse human beings experiencing a world. Salvaging Hope’s dystopian society, based on the realities of our own, operates unapologetically in its exclusion of disabled and neurodivergent lives with its barriers to our survival.

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.
