Abstract
The ancient Mystery mythological tradition links northern mainland Greece and the islands of Samothrace and Lemnos \nwith Troy, Persia, Boeotian Thebes, Egypt, Crete, Etruscan Italy, the Peloponnesus, Athens, and the sanctuary of Demeter \nand Persephone at the Attic village of Eleusis. Common to this wide geographical matrix is the role of a psychoactive \nmushroom as a shamanic sacrament affording access to mystical experience. The Greek Homeric tradition knew of the \nplant as the Homeric moly, [h]omomi, and the haoma sacrament of the Zoroastrian Magi priests and the warrior brotherhood \nof Mithraism. This was expressed as a zoomorphic anthropomorphism in the figure of the Gorgon Queen Medusa, \nand the bovine and taurine metaphors for the Amanita muscaria mushroom. The role of Perseus, as the father of \nPerses, the eponymous ancestor of the Persians, and of Medea, as mother of Medos, the eponymous ancestor of the \nPersian tribal group of the Medes, is central to assimilation of the Persian sacrament into Hellenic traditions. Medea is an \nadjectival version of the same linguistic root that appears in the verbal participle Medusa and the noun Metis, signifying \nfemale empowerment though expertise in medicinal and sacred drugs, a wisdom assumed by the goddess Athena as a \ndeification of Sophia. This fungal sacrament figured in the various Mystery cults of the Anatolian Goddess and her male \nattendant, and in the antithetical relationship of the gods Apollo and Dionysus.

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.
