Abstract
This essay conceptualizes the massive materiality of Victorian print culture both as a counterpart to the modern city (dynamic, multi-centered, unpredictable, rife with local formations) and as a discursive web. Lateral “sideways” navigation across genres, texts, and successive pages or issues helps to uncover print’s spatio-temporal convergences. Illustrative examples include adverts for Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend across the publishing titles he controlled, notices or silences about Dickens’s and Gaskell’s serial fiction in Sunday papers, and the mutually reinforcing fame of Hood’s “The Song of the Shirt” and Dickens’s Christmas Carol .

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
