Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Modern civilization is inherently unsustainable, and is thus implicated in the progressive annihilation of the natural world. This annihilation is necessary in a system that is perpetuated through capitalist notions of economic productivity in which the importation of goods is required. As each landbase is only capable of sustaining the life forms that exist within its ecosystem, importation means the death of particular ‘other’ bodies and life forms. The only possible endpoint for a system which depends on the importation of finite resources to support itself is death, and for the first time in history, the possibility of an end to all of life on earth is scientifically verifiable (Bahrenberg & Dutkowski, 1993, p. 286)...

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
