Abstract
This article argues that the solo adventures of Josian, the main female character of the Middle English Bevis of Hampton in the Auchinleck Manuscript, develop in the way that they do because they are meant to be directly parallel to the adventures of her lover and husband, Bevis. In comparison to Bevis’s deeds, which are mainly physical, Josian’s are best described as acts of patience. Her adventures then can fit into a tradition of female heroism that praises acts of patience in the way that traditional male heroes are praised for their deeds of daring on the battlefield. With abilities such as minstrelsy, disguise, and resourcefulness, Josian demonstrates a kind of heroism that is revealed, through its direct parallels with Bevis’s accomplishments, as an unexpectedly proto-feminist construct, with the two main characters in the poem presented as equals at important junctures.

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
