Abstract
In the past few years both Boyle and Newton have received considerable scholarly attention, and today we know much more about these two paragons of the "Scientific Revolution" than did previous generations of scholars. The "Newtonian Industry," as Richard S. Westfall has termed it, has undergone a radical transformation in at least two areas. First, the image of Newton as a significant influence in the establishment of Enlightenment deism has been considerably modified by scholars such as James E. Force, Edward B. Davis, and Betty Jo Dobbs, and it is now widely recognized that even though the Newtonian system could be (and indeed was) associated with a deistic world view, this was most definitely not what Newton himself intended. Second, Newton's alchemical pursuits, long kept secret, and even longer misunderstood, have finally been brought to light by J. E. McGuire and P. M. Rattansi, and have been interpreted by Betty Jo Dobbs in such a way that their relationship to Newton's thought as a whole finally makes sense.

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
