Abstract
The half decade between the ambiguous end of the civil war and the rise of de Valera’s Fianna Fáil party in the late 1920s was a deeply traumatic period for the losers of the conflict. In his oration at the 1924 Wolfe Tone commemoration at Bodenstown, republican propagandist Brian O’Higgins spoke of ‘the cesspools of calumniation … the thorny ways of poverty … the torture-hells called prisons and the bitterness of exile’ that ‘republican idealists’ in every generation had been forced to endure. 1 O’Higgins’ prophetic comments neatly telegraph the central features of republicans’ collective experience living under a newly consolidated post-revolutionary status quo. Stripped of O’Higgins’ literary language, the primary post-revolutionary difficulties republican sources have stressed include ongoing persecution by the state; financial hardship brought about by imprisonment and economic discrimination amidst the depressed postwar economy; and a mass exodus abroad. To what extent does this picture stand up to scrutiny? Were the forces of repression as severe as republicans alleged? Did the losers of the civil war suffer inordinate hardship as a result of an orchestrated campaign of economic victimization? Did republican activists emigrate from the early Free State in especially high numbers? And if so, were government repression and economic victimization the main ‘push factors’ behind this exodus? These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

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.
