Abstract
While researching for the background of Romola, Eliot noted in her diary on Sunday 7 July 1986: ‘Read the Introduction to Savonarola’s poems … Busied myself with a plan of rational mnemonics in history’.1 The phrase ‘rational mnemonics in history’ hits upon a crucial aspect of Romola as a historical novel: the emotional development of the characters is enacted by a narrative of remembering, which is approached from a historical point of view. Like the Gemeinschaft novels, Romola shows a primary concern with the ways in which assumptions behind customs, legends and mythological systems are gradually transformed into moral principles and with how they may condition the psychology of characters. Nevertheless, as a novel explicitly concerned with history and its uses, it finally confronts an issue that has gathered momentum up to Romola: whether the past is part of a cyclic and recurrent history, or a stage out of which the present may grow. Put differently, this is also an issue about whether the past is valuable in itself or only in the meaning it may hold for the present.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
