Abstract
From the medieval Latin decadentia ( de , “down” or “apart,” and cadere , “to fall), the term “decadence” has generally been used to describe a civilization that, having passed its height of strength and glory, was now characterized by the overly refined excesses of an elite class or eccentric geniuses. While associated with immorality, degeneracy, and deviance, the accusation of decadence was adopted by Victorian artists and writers as a badge of their innovation, individuality, and openness to new ways of understanding the world. As an early modernist phenomenon, it has connections to aestheticism, Symbolism, and Pre‐Raphaelitism. Key contributors to the Victorian decadent movement include Charles Baudelaire, Aubrey Beardsley, Max Beerbohm, George Egerton, Michael Field, Théophile Gautier, George Fleming, Joris‐Karl Huysmans, Henry James, Vernon Lee, Ada Leverson, Charlotte Mew, Walter Pater, Simeon Solomon, Algernon Swinburne, Arthur Symons, and Oscar Wilde.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
