Abstract
Abstract The Florentine architect Bernardo Buontalenti’s only sustained commentary on his profession is found not in a treatise but in the margins of Domenico Mellini’s tract, Discorso contro il moto perpetuo (1587). While Mellini relied upon Aristotelian doctrine to disprove Buontalenti’s claimed invention of a perpetual motion machine, the architect corrected him by asserting the primacy of practical knowledge over theoretical reasoning. This paper examines incidents of late sixteenth-century Florentine architect-engineers writing against intellectual and institutional authorities, often in unexpected formats including marginalia, drawings, and self-published pamphlets. It explores their contributions in the context of a transitional moment in the history of architectural professionalization—the foundation of art academies. Challenging humanistic doubts on practical knowledge and an increasingly specialized definition of the architect as artist, late sixteenth-century architect-engineers increasingly upheld material and technical experimentation as modes of rational thought providing more direct and truthful knowledge of the natural world.

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
