Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ary Ostertag's review of my book, Bertrand Russell on Modality and Logical GRel evance, turns everything he discusses upside down.Thus I am glad that he also ignores over nine tenths of my book.Ostertag says, "It appears then, that Russell is, if anything, hostile to the idea that modality plays a fundamental role in logic" (his p. ).Right.I agree three times (my pp.-, -, ), and I quote Russell's hostility twice (my pp., ).But Ostertag bafflingly proclaims, "Dejnoka holds the very opposite.Not only does Russell embrace modality, he espouses a variety of modal logics" (his p. ).Wrong.I repeatedly proclaim that Russell rejects all modal notions or modal entities, with the sole exception of goodness in his early ethics (my p. ).And I never say he espouses a modal logic.What then do I find in Russell?Logically implicit modal logics!I say, "All seven of the modal logics I find implicit in Russell seem closest to S" (p.).I say, "I define seven modal logics which may be implicitly attributed to Russell" (p.).I indicate seven times that I am discussing logically implicit modal logics (my pp., , twice, , , quoting Magnell on my views).Even Ostertag unwittingly quotes me as engaged only in formal "paraphrase" (my p. , his p. ).I state the basic message in the Introduction of my book:Russell's idea is simple: to use notions of ordinary quantificational logic to define and analyze away modal notions.Modal notions are eliminated across the board.The individual ("existential") and universal quantifiers are used to simulate and replace modal notions.Literally speaking, Russell has banished modality from logic.Yet functionally speaking, Russell has achieved a modal logic based on a rich and sophisticated theory of modality.

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.
