Abstract
Through studies of four individuals, this article will explore the utility of biography as a method of disentangling strands of political allegiance in Northern Ireland during the era of the ‘old Stormont’. The four individuals – Harry Midgley, Arthur Linden Agnew, Albert McElroy and Jack Hassard – are connected by progressive strands of political activism, Protestantism and use of Ulster-Scots or British identity to support their political stances. These four lives reveal much about the development of Northern Labour and Liberal politics, but as a collective biography, rather than a party or institutional history, they reveal much of the wider milieu of reformist Northern Protestants. Their diverse final political destinations highlight the tensions within this strand and the persistence of divisions in Northern Ireland.

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
