Abstract
One way of understanding Political Theology is as the reading of modern political concepts as secularized theological concepts, influentially promoted by Carl Schmitt. Chief among theological concepts secularized into modern politics, for Schmitt, is God, whose rule translates, through the writings of Jean Bodin and Thomas Hobbes into modern sovereignty. For Hobbes, the sovereign is a “mortal God,” and God’s rule over Israel is the only ancient political model worthy of emulation. While scholars have increasingly engaged the role of theology in modern political thought, there has been little reckoning with the particular Judeo-Christian notion of God – an overlord alluded to in gendered terms – that is the prototype for modern sovereignty. This understanding of God has shaped and limited the modern political imagination, inviting understandings of sovereignty as domination. This article explores the possibility that visions of politics or sovereignty absent domination, being pursued in our time, would be enriched by – and may indeed require – an expansion of our theological imagination.

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
