Abstract
An existentialist ethic permeates the fabric of Arthur Miller's drama. Perhaps more than any other American playwright of his time, he constructs situations that not only highlight a particular historical circumstance but also translate themselves into the larger ontological conundrums facing individuals in the last half of the twentieth century. His protagonists are faced with the inescapable project of defining themselves through a series of Promethean choices. Biff, in Death of a Salesman, realizes that Willy "never knew who he was" and refuses to follow him into a similar life of bad faith. In The Crucible, a morc direct expression of dramatic existentialism, John Proctor denies the right of the church and the state to define his actions by choosing death over a false confession, asking the profound question, "How may I live without my name?" Incident at Vichy, a play coming on the heels of After the Fall and continuing the latter's themes, broaches the subject of individual complicity and culpability in the light of an abstract condemnation, especially in the figure of LeDuc, who ha. to wrestle with his own guilt in accepting his freedom while those around him are doomed. He asserts that "there is nothing and will be nothing — until you face your own complicity with this ... your own humanity," In all cases, the individuals assert themselves by creating the terms under which they are to live, heroically or otherwise, thereby assuring themselves an accurate inscription of their names on the tablet of history.

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.
