Abstract
Critics who have analyzed the animal stories of Ernest Thompson Seton and Charles G.D. Roberts in the context of the Darwinian revolution have focussed on how evolutionary theory transformed understanding of animal psychology and competition in nature. Such scholars have disagreed over the extent to which the two writers accepted Darwinism or were realistic in their representations. With some significant exceptions, however, the focus on animals per se has obscured the extent to which Seton and Roberts were also speculating, in Darwin’s wake, about the moral nature of the cosmos and the meaning of human and animal life within it. The author explores how Seton’s religious language and tendency to allegory reveal his belief that both human beings and animals partake of the divine spirit of the cosmos; while Roberts, focussing on chance deaths amidst the beauty of nature, can affirm neither the moral goodness of nature nor its purely material reality.

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
