Abstract
Professor Koskenniemi's erudite lecture, ‘Empire and International Law: The Real Spanish Contribution’ (UTLJ 61.1) examines the thinking of the Spanish scholastics from three perspectives. He offers a reconstructive interpretation of the reasoning that the Spanish scholastics engaged, a contextualization of the issues they took themselves to be addressing because of the context in which they wrote, and an account of the role that their reasoning served in subsequent rationalization of international law's indifference to private power. In this brief response, I say both something about the distinction between these perspectives and something about the Scholastics' signature distinction between the two forms of dominium, private property and public law.

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 it
