Abstract
This paper introduces social exchange theory as a promising framework for analyzing co-operative organizations and a helpful tool for deepening our understanding of their governance. We suggest that social exchange is one of the foundational elements of co-operation among member-owners as it provides the impetus for initiating organized co-operative activity among those actors, which is then facilitated with formal co-operative arrangements. Further, we suggest that there is a connection between key constructs of social exchange, e.g. members’ motivations for exchange, the resources they exchange, and the forms the exchange takes, and the sustainability and success of co-operative exchange relationships. Overall, the ideas set forth in this paper may offer a number of avenues for future research, especially in the area of formation, governance, and management of co-operative organizations.

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
