Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract During the Renaissance, two ancient granite columns in the form of Egyptians stood in Tivoli. Depictions of the two monoliths reveal the networked exchanges of artistic ideas in the sixteenth century that engaged architecture within a long history of the reception of imperial conquest, including the subjugation of bodies under empire. Receptions of ancient, anthropomorphized columns flourished in sixteenth-century Europe, and the resulting discourse determined an iconography of these columns as architecture’s enslaved captives. The columns at Tivoli bore meaning as architectural fragments made of quarried and extracted African stone that attested to imperial Rome’s vast reach into its provinces. Processing the materiality of their stone medium along with the durational emergence of their sculptural becoming, this article advances the concept of the “bodying column” as a way to find the human in architectural fragments that are sculpted in the shape of human bodies.

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.
