Abstract
Il\-t is welllrnown just to what extent Bemard Noel'!, today extensive work -fromLJlExtraits du corps (1958), La Peau et les mats (1972) and Bruits de langue (1980) to L'Ete langue morte (1982), La Chute des temps (1993) and Onze romans d 'ceil (1988)has in some significant measure devoted itself to matters of physicality, physiology, its marvels and its abuses, its strange and wondrous dovetailing, too, with our processes of fabulous and fabulating mentation, our moments equally of relative or even persistent dementia.Les Etats du corps is a most compact text, composed of eleven very short prose pieces, which fuse a discreetly lyrical ellipticalness with a yet manifest ethical cogency of ironic and pseudo-objective nature, and which are accompanied by four engravings by Ceci1e Reims attuned to -and no doubt inducing in some significant way -Noel's eleven texts.The latter progress with a somewhat esoteric clarity from a "beginning [in which] the body is open like a yes.What sweetness!But [wherein] it forgets itself', to an "eleventh moment [where] there is no more time, but an activity called Opening or universal Cutting Up [... and where] the greatest slicer is clearly the greatest Nominator as well as the greatest Artist".It is here, of course, that we reconnect with that older distinction of Noel's between the use of language -or, of course, image -as abusively practised upon the world and others, and its/their use as creativity, revealingly, epiphanically, non-abusively practised upon and via the self, for the (at least possible, but always unconstraining) value any other may find within such a gesture.What "happens" to, upon and within the body, between original, primordial "sweetness" and the clinical yet caressing gestures of writer and artist, is in part exposed in the interposed texts.And, of course, the ethical tussle still goes on, providing the extraordinary contrasts out ofwhich surges the desire ofa Bemard Noel-or a Cecile Reims.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
