Abstract
… I, your servant, who have labour'd here In buskins and in socks, this thirty year … William Davenant, The Platonic Lovers , 1635 The speaker of the above lines from the epilogue to Davenant's comedy for the King's men was undoubtedly John Lowin, by late 1635 the longest-serving member of the troupe. Although the ‘here’ of the first performance of the play was the stage of the Blackfriars playhouse, Lowin had begun playing before that space was in the possession of the company; he had spent his thirty years or so acting in both of their playhouses, and had played at the Globe before its destruction and subsequent rebuilding in 1613 – indeed he was probably playing the title part in Shakespeare and Fletcher's play Henry VIII when the fire began. In his 1927 book The Organization and Personnel of the Shakespearean Company , T. W. Baldwin attempted to argue that each actor had a particular ‘line’ or speciality in types of character, although Davenant's verses make it clear that Lowin acted in both tragedy and comedy, indicated by the conventional footwear of actors on the classical stage, standing as signs for the ancient genres. (In the poem ‘L'Allegro’, published in 1645, Milton writes of ‘Jonson's learnèd sock’, for example.) Furthermore, most modern commentators would agree that actors playing in a wide variety of kinds of drama within a repertory company of a fixed core size could not have maintained an essentially narrow specialism in stage characters.

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.
