Abstract
Any book is a collective eff ort, but this is even truer of translations.Many people made the English-language version of this book possible, and I am indebted to them.First and foremost, I thank Käthe Roth from the bottom of my heart for her fi rst-rate translation work.She was highly effi cient, insistent on quality, and a pleasure to work with.It's certainly not an easy feat to combine these three traits.It's rare for a writer to have such an attentive reader, and so our conversations taught me a lot.Of course, the manuscript would never have reached Käthe's desk without some important preparatory work.For this, I thank Darcy Cullen and Nadine Pedersen in particular.When I approached UBC Press with the idea for this book, Darcy responded enthusiastically, and I immediately felt that the project was in

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; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
