Abstract
In an exponentially hyper-connected modern world it is tempting to imagine that the past was a different place, one of sedentary villages in which most people barely ventured beyond familiar confines. Indeed, for Mediterranean prehistory, it is farms and hamlets that dominate the settlement record (Whitelaw 2017, 118). One might, then, easily assume that in such societies most interactions were with family and neighbors, and of a frequency and regularity that made for an almost intuitive communication. In the study of antiquity this perspective is perhaps best encapsulated in Finley's assertion that ancient societies must have operated primarily on a face-to-face basis With this notion of the face-to-face, it is all too easy to portray society as static Mobility becomes an optional add-on, something that might well have happened, but certainly not an inherent societal condition

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
