Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Henry Daniel was an older contemporary of Chaucer, who lived, for at least part of his life, in or near London. He was a pioneer in medieval English science, who completed two large works in English: an exhaustive treatise on uroscopy and a very large herbal-cum-medical encyclopaedia. He put together and created a medical and scientific vocabulary in English, and wrote the first serious scientific textbook in the vernacular. His contribution to learning and medical history has been unaccountably neglected; and his contributions to our knowledge of Chaucer’s language and society have been largely ignored.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
