Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The precise nature of Horace Walpole's sexuality remains elusive, in spite of the extent of his surviving correspondence — which is vast but with notable and possibly strategic gaps. Walpole's reactions to two queer men he encountered in Italy, Cardinal Prince Henry Benedict and Baron Philipp von Stosch, nevertheless reveal some of his preoccupations and anxieties in relation to male-male sexual desire.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
