Abstract
This book concerns the parish of Forkhill in South Armagh, on the modern border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. South Armagh is described by Kyla Madden as “historically charged” (p. 5), and that is true in both senses of the word. It has long been a theater of conflict, and in more recent years British journalists dubbed it “Bandit Country” because of its prominence as a stronghold of the Provisional IRA. Madden's careful historical probe is designed to show the complexity behind facile assumptions about the area, and in particular about the inevitability of sectarian conflict in a mixed community. In that sense, the book is humane and even optimistic, as it demonstrates that allegedly atavistic and unchanging characteristics are in fact the products of specific and ephemereal historic conditions. It is more convincing than the unchanging “narrow ground” or “dreary steeples” monolith favored by A. T. Q. Stewart and Roy Foster.

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.
