Abstract
Vehicular it-narratives grappled with Enlightenment debates about the nature of both the mind/soul and self-motion. For many eighteenth-century writers, spatial motion was a crucial component of the study of human nature. Changes in movement could cause changes in one’s passions, intellect, and sympathetic interactions with other people. Vehicle-narrators exemplify the ways in which transportation might result in passionate transport. These texts also investigate important analogies between Newtonian law and the laws of human nature: do the motions of the mind/soul obey the same laws as physical bodies? Is the mind/soul self-moving, or is it moved by outside forces? In order to understand the centrality of the concept of motion in Enlightenment texts, we must suspend modern assumptions that, in its literal sense, motion necessarily denotes a physical object moving through space. In asking whether the mind or matter caused a living being to move, stories told by coaches, cabriolets, and sedans show that the it-narrative genre was as much engaged with philosophical problems as it was with social ones.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
