Abstract
This article examines the impact of ‘naturalism’ upon the understanding of Paleolithic cave art during the last 150 years. In art history, the term ‘naturalism’ is commonly used to define the mode of representation seeking to imitate nature as faithfully and truthfully as possible. This ‘naturalistic’ ideal influenced traditional interpretations of cave images in a number of fundamental ways. In particular, during the greater part of the twentieth century, archaeologists, anthropologists and art historians focused on ‘realistic’ representations and overlooked ‘non-naturalistic’ images. This ‘naturalistic’ interpretation of cave images remained unchallenged until the last 30 years, when the favored position of realistic images has been questioned by a number of theoretical and empirical developments.

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
