Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Research among Pagans in Canada clarifies the broad understanding that Paganism is understood as a religion of self-empowerment offering resources for healing and relating. Here, magic is a metaphor for change rather than a particular group of actions performed to achieve specific goals. A startling discovery of the prevalence of abuse in the upbringing of those who have become (or self-identified as) Pagans gives urgency to this paper's exploration of meanings and methods of healing. Choice, power, and the sacredness of life are central to this identity.

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.
