Abstract
Building on Overbury’s popular posthumous poem ‘A Wife’, Daniel Tuvill brought out his Asylum Veneris, or a Sanctuary for Ladies in 1616, the same year in which John Davies published A Select Second Husband for Sir Thomas Overburies Wife, Now a Matchlesse Widow. Identified with the reform-minded Protestant circle at a time when the court seemed rife with corruption after Overbury’s murder, both texts capitalise on the political marriage metaphor in which the wife figured the commonwealth and the husband her King. Offering an implicit critique of James I, Tuvill recommends the virtues of wifely counsel and powerful female rulers, while Davies delineates a husband/king who would provide Overbury’s ‘widow’ with an ideal match.

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
