Abstract
This article seeks to read the travellee in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century travel in India with a focus on the nature of their contemporaneity with the traveller. It questions the overarching explanatory power bestowed on religion in colonial-era European travel accounts through an exploration of the itinerance of the Hindu travellee in early colonial India and the changing functions of the rest house, the latter often mentioned exclusively as a sign of Hindu hospitality in European travel texts of the time. Based on a reading of excerpts from dubash narratives interwoven with details from French and British accounts, the analysis sheds light on travellees as mobile and transitional, their paths intersecting with those of travellers. Travel here emerges as differentiated and constituted by being in place, with instances of shared time marking the experience of movement for all involved.

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
