At the opening of an essay on "The Theatricality of Medieval English Plays" in the Cambridge Companion to Medieval Theatre, Meg Twycross summarizes the conclusions drawn by a group of Toronto scholars who produced several pageants from the York Cycle under "original staging conditions": We have discovered, among other things, that actors can perform on a stage eight feet by ten feet; that twenty-foot-high pageant wagons are not necessarily doomed to overbalance; that long rhetorical speeches are not by definition "boring"; that spectacle can speak more strongly than words; that it is possible to look the audience full in the face. Above all, we have learnt to trust the plays themselves: that if we take them seriously as theatre, they will work. Medieval theatre has emerged not as childlike or primitive, but as different, and often highly sophisticated. (37) The quotation summarizes the best and worst of the "Original Practice" movement. On one hand, it hardly seems worth the trouble to rebuild pageant wagons to prove that the York Cycle was performed upon pageant wagons. We know that, and we know that these pageants worked because they played for centuries. We do not need to restage plays to prove that they were plays. On the other hand, I doubt I am alone in longing to have seen these productions. That is, if as a scholar of early English drama I am somewhat dubious about the discoveries of these productions, as a fan I am desperate to see them. In fact, a telling paradox—and one of the premises of this review of the American Shakespeare Center's 2006 Summer/Fall Season is that it may not be a paradox—is that while original practice...

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.
