Abstract
Abstract English, the lingua franca of the Commonwealth, is also the World's most influential language in human history. The influence of English as the language of academe may be reflected in the fact that more books about all the religions of the world have probably been published in English than in any other language on earth. This is perhaps because the former British Empire has always had to deal with a multiplicity of religions within its dominions. Today, the Commonwealth of Nations comprises more than a third of the Muslim population of the world—lodged in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Nigeria, and elsewhere.2 2. Statistics on religious demography may be found in the US State Department's 2006 Report on International Religious Freedom. Available at http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2006/index.htm (accessed 31 March 2007). The Commonwealth also includes about a third of the Christian countries of the world—in Africa, the Caribbean, Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and the Anglophone world of the Pacific. This article addresses such paradoxes as to why Muslims are well represented in the Commonwealth while Arabs are not, and why Christianity is under siege globally while the English language is the dominant international language.

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
