Abstract
Despite being against the actual act of adultery, Deborah Rhode, the Ernest W McFarland Professor of Law and Director of the Center on the Legal Profession at Stanford University, makes a shockingly compelling argument for abolishing all laws that criminalize adultery in America. Rhode has written the first book of its kind—“the first comprehensive account of adultery and its legal consequences in the United States.” Weaving through various scenarios in which pro-adultery law arguments might be made, Rhode concludes that “laws governing adultery have grown more anachronistic.” Upon navigating the first few pages of Rhode’s book, one may prematurely dismiss her thesis; perhaps attributing the argument against punishing adulterers to an author with little respect for longstanding customs and traditions. However, Rhode does in fact take into account various traditionalist views, embraces them, and by the end of the book, convinces readers that notwithstanding the toxic essence of adultery, existing laws that criminalize adultery can be substantially harmful too.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
