Abstract
Maurice Browne was an ambitious minor figure at the Elizabethan Court, seeking patrons. In 1580 he became London agent for the wealthy Wiltshire gentleman John Thynne of Longleat, sending news and vigorous advice on godly religious attitudes. While emphasising God's role, Browne worked at Court for Thynne's worldly interests, offering hints on tactics and even dress. Browne had useful contacts because he was in the service of Secretary Sir Francis Walsingham, who sent him on diplomatic business to the Azores, but also encouraged him to join Sir Humphrey Gilbert's doomed expedition to found a Newfoundland colony, during which Browne, and Gilbert, drowned.

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
