Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I have been working for many years on the problem of adaptation: how societies or organisms, species, or systems of various kinds adapt to complex and rapid change. In this paper, I will outline my theories and my thinking about adaptation as summarized in the book, The Ingenuity Gap. I will also highlight five aspects of education for the future: education for complexity and what that means; education for reconnection to the micro and macro scales around us; education that increases our respect for experiential knowledge; education that will encourage a recognition of our connectivity through time, from the present into the future; and finally, education to broaden our conception of values. I’ll touch on each one of these points in my presentation today.

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.

Not 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.
