Abstract
Studies of contemporary Western culture, and of the conceptions of human\nagency which inform it, almost invariably identify an increasing emphasis on the\nindividual as a principal theme. For some this individualising tendency is a\nmatter of loss or decline: they believe that ours is a decadent age, a narcissistic\nculture, built upon corrupted views of the human. Others offer a decidedly more\nup-beat evaluation of the individualising shift, prizing such fruits as the\ndevelopment of human rights and the capacity to mobilise sentiment in response\nto tragedies like the South East Asian Tsunami of 2004. For Canadian\nphilosopher Charles Taylor, neither the outright knockers of contemporary\nculture nor the straight boosters have plumbed the depths of our age; and nor will\na simple trade-off between advantages and costs do justice to the transition\ntaking place. In his view, a new understanding of human identity, that of\nauthenticity, has permeated Western culture since the 1960s, with its own insight\ninto the human good as well as its own debased forms.

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.
