Abstract
In “Medievalism,” his 1928 essay on Guido Cavalcanti, Ezra Pound described the uniqueness of medieval Italian poetry. The poets of this time, he writes “brought into poetry something which had not been in any so marked and developed degree in the poetry of the troubadours. It is still more important for any one wishing to have well-balanced critical appreciation of poetry in general to understand that this quality, or this assertion of value, has not been in poetry since” (LE, 150). This quality, he claimed, had its origin in the troubadours’ shift from the classical aesthetic of “[p]lastic plus immediate satisfaction,” to the “dogma that there is some proportion between the fine thing held in the mind and the inferior thing ready for instant consumption” (LE, 151). For Pound, the aesthetic shift initiated by the troubadours achieved its fullest expression in the Tuscan poetry of the trecento which “demand[ed] harmony in something more than the plastic” (LE, 151) and gave central importance to the interaction between the intellect and the senses. This poetic sensibility, he came to believe, found its most perfect expression in Cavalcanti's canzone “Donna mi prega,” a poem for which he gained increasing admiration over the course of almost three decades of study.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
