Abstract
The 21st century has brought new attention to the use of music in Ann Radcliffe’s novel, The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794). To date, much of this work focuses on how unknown music evokes the fearful elements of the Gothic. However, reducing key sonic scenes to a sense of fear neglects Emily’s often positive relationship to sound. A re-examination of this seemingly “haunted” music reveals it to be a more ambiguous vessel for the protagonist Emily’s creative projections. Current scholarship also omits full analysis of Emily’s lute, both in the setting of the novel and in Radcliffe’s era. Emily’s lute performances, considered in their historic context and read as an act of resistance, free her from a typical heroine’s depiction of inert interiority. In both cases, considering how Emily creatively listens to and actively performs music reveals productive new tones within the novel.

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
