Abstract
Julian of Norwich’s A Revelation of Love develops a sophisticated phenomenology of attention. Understanding the key role that attention plays in Julian’s thought illuminates some of the most vexing questions that confront readers of her text, including her idiosyncratic adaptation of Augustine’s categories of bodily and spiritual sight. A Revelation of Love describes how Julian’s attention is turned and sustained, as well as distracted, by the phenomena that arise through the course of her revelations. In her reflections, she articulates both the anticipatory and retentive modalities of attention. She also acknowledges the limits of attention, particularly how pain can frustrate attempts to “pass over” the body. A Revelation of Love not only engages with contemporary philosophical and theological debates, but it can also help to historicize our understanding of both attention and phenomenology.

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 it
