Abstract
In the early fifteenth-century a group of Christians of the Girdle—Eastern Christians coming from Syria—arrived in Barcelona. In the first decades of their presence in the city they acted as a group, living in the same quarter, adopting a policy of endogamous marriages and establishing a brotherhood. But a marked improvement in economic conditions of the newcomers and their descendants, as well as an expansion of their social relationship networks, marked the end of the strong cohesion. It seems, then, that the experience of the Christians of the Girdle must be interpreted primarily as a strategy for survival in the new social environment of Barcelona rather than a deliberate policy of exclusive cultural identity with a view to reproduction of a specific cultural, linguistic, and religious model.

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
