Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Eckhart’s view of the relation of reason and faith is known for eliding the careful line between the two ways of knowing God set out by Thomas Aquinas. This is true, but needs to be qualified. First, Eckhart insisted there was a difference in the certainty of the teaching of revelation and of human knowing. Second, the theologian could make use of forms of knowing accessible to reason, as well as forms dependent on divine light raising the mind to truths ordinarily beyond it ( cognitio per speculum et in lumine ). Third, knowing divine truths is located in intellectus/vernünfticheit , a dimension of the soul beyond mere reason.

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.
