Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Coffee was an object of both social and political anxiety in 1670s England, culminating in a short-lived ban on coffeeshops in 1675. Claims made in contemporaneous pamphlets, specifically ‘The Women’s Petition Against Coffee,’ about coffee’s possible impact on male fertility need to be taken more seriously than have previously been in existing scholarship. Due to the changes in England’s population levels in the third quarter of the seventeenth century, the question of coffee’s impact on reproductive ability would have been relevant to the English public. Given the larger context of the on-going military and trade conflicts with the Dutch, the suggestion that coffee could prevent men from fully partaking in reproduction had ramifications that went into the political sphere, making coffee drinking tied to the future of the English national project.

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.

Not 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.
