Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Jane Cave Winscom was an 18-century British poet who suffered from excruciating headaches. Three poems about her pain appear in the 1794 edition of her Poems. They provide both a valuable historical account of the treatments she underwent and a patient's account of the physical and psychological effects of headache. Winscom's poems display many of the same features as current pain narratives. They expose private and devastating suffering to public gaze, and publicly question the medical establishment that has failed to restore her to health. They also reveal features that have come to be understood as foundational in pain narratives: a body turned on itself and figured as an external enemy, and the absolute power of pain to silence the sufferer. Most important, the poems demonstrate Winscom's narrative composition of a self who has overcome this enforced silence to speak the experience of head pain.

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.
