Abstract
Abstract This article is divided into two main sections. The first section exposes the ways in which the work of Shepperson mobilises the concept of communication, while the second focuses on the concept of collaboration. First, we want to show how the work of Shepperson tackles the study of communication, by paradoxically adopting and rearticulating at the same time the theoretical linearity of the sender–receiver model, which was then the widely accepted canonical model for the study of communicative processes. Second, we will illustrate how the concept of collaboration appears in the works of Shepperson as both a cornerstone theme as well as a methodology orienting his critical discourses. In this second section, we approach Shepperson's critical discourses from a different critical purview by highlighting how exactly he deploys the theme of collaboration. With this emphasis, it becomes evident that collaboration is not only constitutive to the (re)production of knowledge in the world but, concurrently, becomes his representation of worldly experiences as well.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
