Abstract
At around three o’clock on 16 May 1532, Thomas More met with the king in the garden of Cardinal Wolsey’s former dwelling, York Place, near the palace of Westminster, and handed him a white leather pouch containing the Great Seal of England. More’s resignation as lord chancellor marked an end and a beginning. A distinguished public career as a lawyer in royal service had come to a conclusion. Yet the final three years of Sir Thomas’s life would be characterized by waves of intense activity and accumulations of dramatic incident – they would define the meaning of that life for posterity, supplying the lens through which More’s character and motives must inescapably be read. Whether either of the old friends possessed any inkling of this that Thursday afternoon in Westminster is unknowable. Sir Thomas, declaring himself not equal to the responsibility, presented his stepping down from office as a withdrawal from the cares of the world, asking leave ‘to bestow the residue of my life in mine age now to come, about the provision for my soul in the service of God, and to be your Grace’s beadsman and pray for you’. Henry, for his part, graciously promised More ‘that in any suit that I should after have unto your Highness, which either should concern mine honor … or that should pertain unto my profit, I should find your Highness good and gracious lord unto me’ ( SL 202). None of these undertakings were in the event to be honoured.

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.
