Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Argument diagrams, used in any number of textbooks on informal logic, were introduced as a way to exhibit the structure of arguments.Arguments of arbitrary complexity could be diagrammed: Premise Conclusion Conclusion 1 Conclusion 2 Premise Conclusion 1 Conclusion 2 Premise Conclusion 3 Many argument diagrams can be done from the syntax of the discourse: X since Y signals Y as the premise, X as the conclusion; X since Y, and Y because Z signals a chain argument from Z to Y to X; and so on.The sticking point for argument diagrams comes when there are two (or more) premises that purport to entail their conclusion: X because Y and Z.Now Y and Z can have two quite different relations to their conclusion X.They can "link" in their support of their conclusion, or they can "converge" on their conclusion.Here are two clear examples of each: + Linked Reasons She's either in the study or the kitchen.She's not in the study.She's in the kitchen.

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.
