Abstract
This essay examines the ‘Proteus’ chapter of Joyce’s Ulysses from the standpoint of ecocritical theory, arguing throughout that Joyce salvages a notion of ecological vibrancy from a depleted, near-barren landscape. The essay assumes from the outset that ‘Proteus’ offers something like proto-work in ecological theory and that Joyce’s attention to nature and natural processes are implicated in the diction, grammar, and aesthetic form of the chapter. Analyzing emergent and established concerns of the still evolving discourse of ecocriticism, the essay ultimately argues that Joyce was an early observer of the many ways in which we inhabit nature and it inhabits us.

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
