Abstract
Abstract Chaim Perelman's critique of Kelsen's pure theory of law concerns mainly two elements: his theory of interpretation and his conception of court decision. Although a court decision is never formally deduced from the law, one cannot say neither that it is “arbitrary”: it leans on reasons, which cannot be reduced to the judge's individual motives and whose value can thus be assessed by the “science of law.” As for interpretation, it is not limited to establishing the meaning of the law's terms, but contributes also to specifying the meaning of the law itself in relation to cultural values—even if these values are not explicitly mentioned by the law. In confining the judge's role to the strict application of the law, the Kelsenian conception of judicial power defies the Kelsenian epistemological imperative, which is to describe “how the law is, not how it ought to be.”

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
