Abstract
In the past, most historical research has been influenced by the white, straight,\ncis-gendered male historians of the time, leading to a shallow perceptive that diminishes queer\nfigures in history. LGBTQ+ and genderqueer individuals have long existed in history and\nappeared in several cultures’ folklore. This thesis will focus on genderqueer figures of folklore\nand explore their significance in their culture. It will also go into my experience directing a new\nqueer-focused adaption of The Tragedy of Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe called Your\nServant Mephistopheles by Else Buckley and Vale Prosper. Expanding from eurocentric research\nin queer folklore, this thesis examines Germanic, Sumerian, Greek, Norse, and Inuit folklore\nfigures. It is important to acknowledge that there is a greater volume of western folklore because\nthere are more written recordings of western folklore. However, this should not devalue the\nfolklore of other cultures. Instead, this thesis will strive to focus on a wider range of world\nfolklore more than just European folklore to emphasize why the exploration into folklore is\nnecessary.

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
