Abstract
John Locke's Two Treatises of Government is by far the most celebrated work among those of Filmer's three major Whig critics and is generally recognized as a classic of early modern thought. Although it was written more or less contemporaneously with Tyrrell's Patriarcha, Non Monarcha and Sidney's Discourses Concerning Government , the fame and influence of the Two Treatises as one of the seminal texts of liberal thought has far outlasted those of these other Whig works. But before he was a philosophical legend, Locke was a relatively unknown partisan Whig. John Locke was born in 1632 into a West Country gentry family with small but prosperous estates in Somerset near Bristol. In contrast to his friend James Tyrrell, Locke's family loyalties were decidedly parliamentarian in the civil war, with his father, a successful attorney, serving as a captain in a parliamentary regiment of horse commanded by a local notable, Alexander Popham. Popham was elected to the Long Parliament in 1646, the same year as Algernon Sidney, and it was through Popham's patronage that Locke was admitted to the prestigious Westminster School that same year. In 1652 he entered Christ Church, Oxford, graduating with an M.A. in 1658, the same year Tyrrell began his matriculation. Locke thus began a long but often troubled relation with Oxford University that would span over three decades. In his student days Locke acquired a keen interest in science and philosophy and shed much of the dogmatism of his Puritan background.

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.
