Abstract
“Sibyl, what do you want?” “I want to die.” T. S. Eliot, epigraph to The Waste Land Memory! You have the key, The little lamp spreads a ring on the stair. Mount. The bed is open … T. S. Eliot, “Rhapsody on a Windy Night” In September of 1914, shortly after Eliot's arrival in England from Germany, where he had been studying until the outbreak of what would become the Great War, and in a letter that includes a sodomitical stanza that he (perhaps jokingly) claims he submitted for a hundred-dollar prize, Eliot writes to Conrad Aiken praising the kindness of Ezra Pound, his new friend, and noting Pound's support of Eliot's poetic endeavors. In the same letter Eliot expresses a deep anxiety about his poetic career and his level of productivity: Pound has been on n'est pas plus aimable , and is going to print “Prufrock” in Poetry and pay me for it. He wants me to bring out a Vol. after the War. The devil of it is that I have done nothing good since J. A[lfred] P[rufrock] and writhe in impotence … I think now that all my good stuff was done before I had begun to worry – three years ago. Eliot's self-critical judgment about the quality of his work is allied with a discomfort which he describes in terms remarkably akin to the corporeal frustrations of sexual “impotence” – explicitly associating poetic productivity with a more youthful blithe spirit and virility.

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.
