Abstract
The Tau — an attribute or liturgical insignia? The head of the Tau Cross indicating the authority of the bishops over earthly matters originates from texts and archaeological finds dating from the 7 th century. It originally took the form of a curved wooden cane. From the beginning of the 8 th century there also emerged a cane with a horizontal finish in the form of the letter ‘T’ — Tau. Up to the present time there exist thirty-three examples of the Tau form made from elephant ivory, walrus ivory, bronze or wood. These were found in England, Ireland, Scandinavia, France, the German Empire, Poland and Portugal. They all originate from the period between the 8 th and 12 th centuries but most of them are from the 11 th and first half of the 12 th century. While the origins of this form of Tau Cross are not entirely clear it undoubtedly has its roots in antiquity but not from the Byzantine period where the prelates used a different type of cane altogether known as a ‘Rabdos’.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
