Abstract
The dominant approach to ethics in the fifteenth-century Jesus cult was oriented towards the deep ken. The chapter begins with an overview of what such ethics looked like, and then zooms in on two particular themes, investigating the deep-ken approach to issues of pacifism and vegetarianism. Neither resembles our modern attitudes towards ethics, and deep-ken vegetarianism was only tenuously linked with ethics at all. This century saw related shifts from the deep to the plain ken: from a history that transcended time to a history fractured in the first century and bent once or twice after that, from an ethics based on symbolic consonance to a constructed, articulated ethics, and from a peace based on universal harmony to one based on the actions and emotions of humans. With a focus on Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount and its consequences, this chapter outlines this shift by considering both people committed to non-harm (the Waldensian Poor of Lyon, Nicholas of Hereford, Nicholas of Dresden, Petr Chelčický, Francis of Paola) as well as radical conservatives (Luke of Prague, Erasmus) who took plain-ken paths to more moderate positions.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
