Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This article focuses on different interpretations of strategy as applied to the conduct of war. The tradition of European strategic thought shaped by Clausewitz, which traced its origins to the eighteenth century and was refined by the wars fought thereafter, was concerned overwhelmingly with the conduct of war on land. The Napoleonic Wars did not produce a comparable articulation of naval or maritime strategy. Not until the 1870s did British authors begin to address this deficiency, and they did so precisely because Britain's maritime supremacy was being called into question by the progressive and accelerating industrialization of its neighbours. By the last quarter of the nineteenth century, powers other than Britain sought colonies and developed navies. Britain's imperial and maritime interests needed to be shaped by rational thought if they were to be defended. The upshot was strategy, and a form of strategy which pointed more to its twentieth-century understanding than it did to Clausewitz's idea that it was the use of the battle for the purposes of the war.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
