The marriage plot has never lacked attention as an object of study; indeed, one might call it the bellwether of novel criticism, reflecting new theoretical and historical trends in eighteenth-century studies. Lisa O’Connell’s book, The Origins of the English Marriage Plot: Literature, Politics and Religion in the Eighteenth Century, highlights the contours of the ‘post-secular’ marriage plot, a plot that takes shape around the triple axes of ‘the sacred, the governmental, and the civic’ (p. 8).

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.
