Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The appeal to a ‘harm principle’ promises to supply global justice with a practical consensus. Any reflection on the harm principle’s origin and history, however, suggests that the principle may be unable to operate independently of other principles that define its scope, and a larger (and less consensual) basic theory of justice. With regard to the former, the scope of a global harm principle is problematic whether we take collectivities or individuals as the objects of harm, for the former option risks illicit person–group analogies, while the latter option has to come to terms with the fact that harm to persons is mediated through their political membership. The harm principle does find an important though limited global application, however, in prohibiting one nation from inflicting harm on another nation’s institutional capacity, since that capacity is essential to the expression of collective self‐determination. With regard to the basic justification of the harm principle, a candidate theory of a broadly contractualist type is outlined.

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.
