Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The positivist histories of anatomy that we currently have give very little account of the nature of the anatomical demonstration of the middle ages and early modern period. I propose here that it is helpful to look at the anatomical demonstration as a ritual, as well as a teaching event. Moreover, I propose that the ritual had sacred purposes, in that it was dedicated to celebrating the providence and workmanship of God in the high point of His creation, the body of man. Finally I give some account of the conditions under which this sacred ritual of anatomy lost its functions with the coming of the modern era.

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.
