Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Recent research on scribal practice demonstrates that the scrolls of the Jewish canon were produced by a tiny elite class who did not attempt to disseminate the contents of the scrolls to the largely illiterate Hebrew-speaking peoples. However, the Bible contains a number of passages that describe or command dissemination of their contents (e.g., Deut. 31:10-13), as well as stories about individuals who try to influence common religious belief and practice (e.g., 1 Kigs 18:17-40). These biblical commandments and stories frequently persuade researchers that something like a "doctrinal dissemination" must have been common among pre-Hellenistic Yahwists. Recent research by anthropologists observing processes of religious dissemination is pertinent to this question, calls common assumptions about dissemination into question, and supports the recent conclusions about Hebrew scribal practice.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
