Abstract
The term “legal fiction” is often used for doctrines that make the law’s image of the world seem distorted or bizarre. On this view, corporate personhood and civil death are fictional because of their narrative potential: the outlandish premise might yield some as yet unknown result. However, this narrative potential is an ordinary feature of all legal doctrines. If legal fictions resemble literary fictions, that kinship owes more to the ways in which both fictional modes solicit a particular kind of attention than to a shared ability to spin out narrative arrays. To develop these ideas, this chapter considers the doctrine of copyright misuse, the question of whether steamboats are floating inns, the concept of “unnatural narrative” in literary scholarship, and Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain (1917).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
