Abstract
It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.(Pratchett and Gaiman 1990, 39) For decades prior to the 1980s, when our ability to read ancient texts became more fully developed, the narrative of the ancient Maya as peaceful stargazers dominated and even directed early studies based in ethnography, ethnohistory, art history, and archaeology (best exemplified in Morley 1946; see discussions in Sullivan 2014; Webster 2000; Wilk 1985).Alongside more general narratives surrounding the "noble savages" of the Americas (Deloria 1969; Otterbein 2000a), these biases served to limit earlier considerations of conflict in the ancient past.Since the 1980s, significant contributions to the study of ancient Maya-and, more generally, Mesoamerican-conflict have appeared in peer-reviewed articles, books and book chapters, and popular media.Although this volume is intended as a follow-up to previous scholarly contributions, such as Brown and

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.
