Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Gawain is a major character in the Arthurian legend, nephew to King Arthur and often the preeminent knight of the Round Table. In early French and Latin texts and in many Middle English texts, Gawain is both the most capable and the most courteous of Arthur's best‐known followers. Unlike most of his counterparts, notably Lancelot and Tristram, Gawain never has a single overwhelming love interest. This leaves him available as a questing knight whose loyalty is often to his uncle first, and to the idea of the quest second. In his earlier appearances, he is the knight who welcomes or supports newer knights, and who is a model of courtesy toward women; these aspects of his character disappear in late medieval French texts, replaced by a darker Gawain prone to murdering his rivals and even to rape. His reputation has recovered in the twentieth and twenty‐first centuries, a consequence of the discovery of “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” and a revival of interest in Chrétien de Troyes.

Not 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.
