Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

O'Flynn's life spanned and intersected the beginnings of the modern world when the lineaments of the culture in which we live today were beginning to emerge. He played an albeit small roll in major events such as the opening-up of the new world in Australia and the United States, the abolition of slavery in the Caribbean and the massive expansion of Catholicism in the nineteenth century. The amazing extent of his travel was a very early example of a vast movement of people across the world. O'Flynn's resentment and opposition to high-handed church leaders and bishops revealed a man willing to challenge authority, a very modern phenomenon. But at heart, for most of his life, he was an unsettled man, someone who was unable to put down roots anywhere. His story is one of wanderlust, of a man who once he started travelling became almost incurably restless. He was, in the sense of canon law, a classical vagus, a wandering priest, an 'ecclesiastical tourist' as the Irish called such priests. But in the end at the age of thirty-nine he found a home and stability in Silver Lake, Pennsylvania. Michael Hayes told his priest brother that, despite the brevity of O'Flynn's time in Sydney, 'he has gained great estimation by his labours in his sacerdotal functions'. The same could be said of his time in the upstate Pennsylvania. In other words he had been a good priest. Despite the brevity of his life that, in the end, was the real test of his character.

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.
