Abstract
Despite the fact that Pound was prodigiously prolific as a poet, essayist, and letter writer, he wrote no systematic treatise on poetics. Nonetheless, his extensive writings on poetry are often memorable: “Literature is news that stays news” (ABCR, 29); “Artists are the antennae of the race” (ABCR, 73, 81); “Dichten=condensare” (ABCR, 36, 92). But the definition he repeated most often – five times – was one he borrowed from Dante: “Poetry is a composition of words set to music.” Simple as this definition may seem, it contains the nucleus of an entire poetics; that is, it addresses, when fleshed out fully, the essential questions of any poetics: what is the nature of the language from which a poem is made, who makes it, and for what end or purpose? In tapping Dante for this definition, Pound is not simply reaching back to a literary giant to gain authority; he goes to Dante because he believed the definition to be sound and because Dante articulated his definition at what, for Pound, was a crucial turning point in European literary history.

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.
