Abstract
This paper reviews the link between colonialismand the female body as a “colonizable” space. Using bothJohn Parkinson’s and William Turner’s herbals as examplesof male-dominate knowledge, this paper argues that colonial methods of compiling, documenting, and publishinginformation maintain control and ownership of women’sbodies through imposed limits around women’s ability toutilize the medical knowledge compiled in herbals. Theseideas are contextualized by the poetry of Isabella Whitney,which resists these male-dominated spaces by engagingwith herbal knowledge in a way that highlights a system offemale oppression.

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
