Abstract
Hume claimed that the religions of the world are in such opposition that their alleged miracles conflict. However, even before Hume there were examples of eirenic interfaith dialogue, and this article 1 provides a historical review of eleven of these, prior to an account of Nicholas of Cusa’s De Pace Fidei (1453), which sought mutual understanding notwithstanding the recent fall of Constantinople. The Platonic nature of Cusa’s dialogue is discussed and especially the relation of ratio to intellectus in his thought. Finally, some implications for contemporary interfaith dialogue are examined and, in particular, the presence of a kind of argument that does not fit comfortably into the traditional via negativa/via positiva dichotomy.

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
