Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper addresses blindness in a university classroom. I make use of my experience as a blind professor in order to depict the social significance in the intersection of blindness, sightedness and knowledge. The paper begins with a description of the initial classroom contact between a blind professor and students. It then depicts the presence of sightedness in the classroom in terms of the classroom's social organisation. The paper moves to a discussion of how university teaching makes use of blindness and sightedness to represent ignorance and enlightenment, respectively. The paper ends by reformulating the taken for granted conception of blindness as contingency into an understanding of blindness and the body as an essential aspect of teaching and learning.

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.
