In our relativistic age the practice of flattery is not seen as a dangerous societal malaise, let alone as a mortal sin in flatterers and an inducement to sin in their victims. This tolerant view did not prevail in the medieval world. Constant attacks on the social and personal harm wrought by flatterers are made by patristic and scholastic authorities from Augustine's day to that of a near-contemporary of Chaucer and Langland, John Bromyard, whose tone grows especially vehement in his lengthy capitula on Adulatio in the Summa Praedicantium.

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
