Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Nobuhle has spent a lifetime surviving and scraping by in the shadows of Bulawayo, her dignity traded for shelter. But everything changes when she steps into her own two-room house in Nkulumane 12. It’s just a concrete box in a dusty, unforgiving neighbourhood, but it’s hers. No landlord. No broken promises. For the first time, she has a home, which means she owns her future. The rough walls, the narrow bathroom, and the zinc door are the bare minimum, but she sees a canvas. Home is where Nobuhle is becoming. Painted walls, luxurious furnishings, and a thriving home-based business. Every plan she makes is a declaration of self-worth, a promise to herself. What happens when a woman who never knew freedom or grace becomes a homeowner? What does home represent? Home is where survival gives way to vision, and a woman who was once invisible now dares to dream.

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.
