Abstract
Abstract This chapter considers the mixture of choice and accident involved in the creation of an archive, and the senses in which a collection’s origins continue to influence the terms of its own study. It considers the assembly of what are known as the Gunpowder papers: the documents associated with the attempt to bomb parliament in London in 1605. Their origins are traced from an initial gathering in a ‘great buckrom bagg of the Powder Treason’ belonging to the Attorney-General Edward Coke, to a ‘Paper Office’ in Whitehall, then to safer lodgings on Chancery Lane and The National Archives at Kew. However, in selecting the Gunpowder papers, many other letters relating to the plot were left in the broader run of State Papers, and perhaps these secondary materials tell us more about the Catholic predicament in Jacobean England.

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.
