Abstract
Acts of God James Nolan (bio) Outside, rowboats paddled up Canal Street while I was delivered howling by lantern in a hospital called Hôtel Dieu during a hurricane that knocked out New Orleans. I have a feel for rattling window panes, for rivers racing through sky, for heaven flung endlessly down. This year August ends with God banging on the door like the police. Venetian blinds clatter against glass, gusts ripple through calendar pages back to the day of my birth, the steel wok hung by a hook from the rafter chimes an Angelus against the skillet, curtains billow as I follow from bed to bed, room to room, city to city, continent to continent, capturing the wind like a spinnaker, covering weather maps with cyclonic swirls and arrows, over- flowing boundaries, sexes and time zones. My kitchen globe brightens as the sky blackens and rising with the steam of a boiling kettle I approach my glory, the air finally matching my emergency, reaching for the same velocity, announcing ourselves with a loosened shutter back and forth against the side of the house. James Nolan James Nolan, a fifth-generation New Orleans native, is a widely published poet, fiction writer, essayist, and translator. He is author of two volumes of poems—Why I Live in the Forest and What Moves Is Not the Wind—and his stories and essays have appeared in such periodicals as The Arkansas Review, North American Review, The Washington Post, and Shenandoah. He lives in the French Quarter, and currently directs the Loyola Writing Institute at Loyola University in New Orleans. Copyright © 2006 Charles H. Rowell

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.
