Why this work is in the frame

A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.

aboutThe title or abstract carries a Canadian signal from the geographic lexicon.

No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame, the usual design, would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.

Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The words scamilli impares are sometimes left untranslated in editions of Vitruvius. They occur in contexts where small geometrical refinements are prescribed for the construction of Greek temples – the curvature of the stylobate or entasis of columns, for example. Opinion is divided as to whether scamilli were some sort of physical aids to the surveying process or were more abstract, such as a system of measurement. This paper examines the curvature of the stylobate of the Parthenon and concludes that scamilli, physical or abstract, were closely involved with the sicilicus, the (smallest) Roman (or Greek) unit of measurement, one quarter of an inch. (Numerical calculations are carried out in metric units and these are interpreted where necessary in terms of inches.)

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
