Abstract
Virginia Woolf’s The Waves demonstrates how an (an)aesthetic of absence might be dramatized in a work of fiction. It presupposes a vast impersonal memory bank that stores everything that has ever happened, every thought or feeling of every person. This data bank, however, is absent, inaccessible to direct experience. The thoughts and feelings it stores, moreover, are always already turned into appropriate language, complete with figures of speech for sensations and feelings that cannot be said literally. These vivid memories are involuntary, to borrow a word from Henri Bergson’s memory theory. They have been forgotten completely and suddenly “come to the top” and begin re-enacting themselves as present occurrences in vivid detail before the mind’s eye. All the characters in The Waves, to different degrees and in different ways, are haunted with the sense of a secret absent centre to which they are attached and that they glimpse but cannot reach.

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.
