Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Political theorists from Plato and Aristotle to Machiavelli and Montesquieu have frequently commented on the connection between the size of a political community and its coherence. The dominant strand of thought in Western political theory suggests the importance of restricting the size of a political unit. Small political units more readily maintain solidarity and find common interests among members than larger ones. Large political units, by contrast, have trouble sustaining the affections of the citizenry and quickly become administratively unwieldy. It is important to note, however, that not all classical theorists share the same pessimism about large communities. The founders of the US republic believed, for a number of reasons, that only a territorially large and diverse United States would be viable. Madison's argument in Federalist 10, that only a large United States would succeed in balancing sectional interests off against each other, is the best known but certainly not the only version of the “size increases coherence” strain of US liberal and republican thought.

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.
