Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Throughout Sarah Fielding's David Simple (1744), conflicts over the citation, attribution, and withholding of others' words are associated with property disputes and with acts of impersonation. The novel's villains, driven by anxieties about scarcity, repeatedly seek to appropriate their victims' material and verbal resources, reflexively categorizing them as a kind of property. These manipulative tactics—and the novel's ambivalent attitude towards direct quotation—point to concerns implicit in contemporaneous thought about literary property, involving the problems associated with converting words into property and the difficulty of controlling what happens to them as a result.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
