Abstract
Intensive transformations taking place in the system of book communications require the updating of scientific approaches and methodological tools used by book researchers. At the same time, the Russian school of book studies faces a number of difficulties. Geographical and disciplinary isolation of research practices that narrows the possibilities of a comprehensive sociohumanitarian analysis of the social phenomena takes the primary place and can be emphasized among them. The need to include and to interpret conceptual medialogical works in the modern book science discourse determines the relevance of this study. The purpose of this article is to articulate the inherent cross-disciplinary nature of book and reading research and its connection with communication science as a metatheory that explains the historical and cultural development of societies. The subject of the analysis is the work of the Canadian scientist H. M. McLuhan. The research has established the essential characteristics of transitional periods in the history of the dominant means of communication: reformation of society members’ perception and the values shared by them, partial deinstitutionalization and adjustment of functions, goals, tasks of previously existing structures of management and control, integration and cumulation of the cultural and resource potential of communication technologies. Concurrently, the inaccuracies of a purely media-deterministic understanding of the M. McLuhan conception and the impossibility of hierarchical classification of modern media theories have been proved. The practical significance of the research lies in the formation of a pedagogical book science strategy focused on the study of «pre-established» reading models in various communication channels, taking into account the varying degree of influence of micro- and macro-environment factors that determine the polyphony of modern media practices, the structure of educational trajectories, as well as their effectiveness.

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
