Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Haram al-Sharif—the third holiest site of Islam, upon which sits al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, and the former site of the Second Jewish Temple—rises up in the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City. It is bounded on its west by a wall extending sixty-two feet down to ground level, known as the Western Wall. Since at least the sixteenth century, this wall has been a site of Jewish prayer and is also venerated by Muslims as the location where the Prophet Muhammad tied his mythical steed, al-Buraq, before ascending to heaven on his Night Journey. Today a broad plaza extends before the wall, providing uninterrupted touristic views of Jewish worshippers below the gleaming Dome of the Rock. No mention is made there of the vibrant neighborhood that existed in this space until June 1967, home primarily to North African Muslims. In the Shadow of the Wall, Vincent Lemire’s history of this neighborhood, Jerusalem’s Maghrebi Quarter, gives a rich and sometimes frustrating account of its centuries-long life and sudden destruction.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
