Abstract
Sheridan and Ibsen look less odd together as a couple when The School for Scandal (1777) and A Doll House (1879) are read as dramatizations of the social consequences of two circulatory systems that accelerate as they intersect in modern life – information and money. Regulated by Adam Smith's “invisible hand,” these negotiable currencies define the choices open to the blackmailed heroines of each play, producing situations that reappear in many subsequent representations of bourgeois domesticity, including but not ending with I Love Lucy (1951–57). As the historical emergence of the word “credit” implies, the period conventionally assigned to modern drama needs to be revised to accommodate the overwhelming fact that money, so often the subject of gossip, also behaves like gossip, changing hands in the form of fictional markers of value in which modern subjects must agree to believe in order to prosper.

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
