Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The experience of massive globalization in the past two decades has provoked an epistemological crisis for historians. No longer is it possible to write histories of one part of the world as though the rest of the world did not exist. The challenge is how to do this without writing histories so dense as to be unmanageable. The essay proposes using an alternative conception of time, one based on moment rather than duration. Drawing on selected insights from Buddhist philosophy, the author suggests that, rather than reproducing timeline narratives that confirm existing identities, historians access the multiplicity and indeterminacy of actual experience in the past by suspending the flow of time and examining the world through ‘keyholes’. In addition to enlarging our sense of the complexity of the past, this philosophy of time encourages narratives that accentuate a tolerance of diversity and a compassion for its failures. La experiencia de la globalización masiva en las últimas dos décadas ha provocado una crisis epistemológica para los historiadores. Ya no se puede escribir las historias de una parte del mundo como si no existiera el resto. El reto consiste en cómo hacer esto sin escribir historias tan densas hasta llegar a un punto incontrolable. El ensayo propone usar una alternativa a la concepción del tiempo, con base en un momento y no en la duración. El autor sugiere, partiendo de ideas seleccionadas de la filosofía budista, que en vez de reproducir narrativas cronológicas que confirman a las identidades existentes, los historiadores busquen en la multiplicidad y la indeterminación de la experiencia actual en el pasado, eliminando el flujo del tiempo y el examen del mundo a través “del ojo de la cerradura.” Además de ampliar nuestro sentido de complejidad del pasado, esta filosofía de tiempo promueve las narrativas que acentúan una tolerancia de diversidad y una compasión por sus errores.

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.
