Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper argues that the advent of the turbo jet engine and consequent acceleration in the construction of temporal-spatial dimension enabled novel social and cultural capability. The scientific and mythic aspects of jet power have played out in Canada, from the innovative theorization of Marshall McLuhan to the Avro Arrow and SARS incidents. Assessing the impact of jet propulsion, this paper proposes that while allied with older systems and tropes, jet travel stimulated the consolidation of a broad arena of practice defined as usual culture. The theorization involves the assertion of a prior and heightened interdependence between technology and cultural practice. The focus is upon registers of literary representation that recount the transformative and disruptive outcomes of the rapid transcontinental interchange of the individual body and bodies of knowledge. A further analytic is the redefinition of the aesthetic with respect to technology, especially aeronautical, in Modern Movement discourse. Notwithstanding contrary corporate and political agency, the jet is held to enact the radical pluralism envisaged by Modernism.

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.
