Abstract
M ulti-faceted studies explore a subject in all its complexity and from asmanypointsofviewaspossible.Thegoalofsuchananalysisisnot todefine,buttoarticulate.In360° Circus: Meaning.Practice.Culture,Franziska Trapp brings together fourteen chapters from different authors with backgroundsinart,educationandresearch.Thisinternationalanthologyacknowledges and celebrates that circus cannot be defined in just one way and thus needs to be explored in 360 degrees.The book's goals are to explore the production and transmission of meaning in and through circus, to examine how researchandcreationcanfeedbackintooneanother,tounderstandhowartists positionthemselveswithinculture,andtoexplorehowcircusbothimpactsand isimpactedbysociety.Thevolumeisorganizedintothreesections:Meaning, PracticeandCulture.TheMeaningsectionincludesJean-MichelGuy's"Circusdoesnotexist"and VeronikaŠtefanová's" 'LaPutyka'byCirkLaPutyka:aglimpseatCzechcontemporary circus."The Practice section begins with "On mutations of forms, style,andmeaning:fromatraditionaltoacontemporarytrapezeact,"aninter-viewwithSandySunconductedbyFranziskaTrappandRiikkaJuutinen.The other chapters in this section are "Articulating hand-balancing: finding space forcriticalself-transformation"byCamillaDamkjaer,"Extremesymbiosis"by LouisevonEulerBjurholmandHenrikAgger,"Hamlet:Tohavewrittenornot tohavewrittenforthetightwire"byLouisPatrickLeroux,"Verticality,gravity, senseofbalance.Transmittingatechnique,conveyingasensation:practicesand discourses of circus arts teachers" byAgathe Dumont, and Franziska Trapp's

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.
