Abstract
Good government requires that laws be expressed clearly. Normative texts serve to integrate within the law a government's policies on social and economic conditions and the rights and obligations of individuals and larger entities. The language of these texts should therefore be precise and easy to understand. But the need for laws to be well written goes well beyond the technical requirements of the legal sphere. For, laws and the language used to express them are directly connected to the everyday practices and general concepts that form the basis of society and civilization. The relationship between laws, language, and society is close and complex. However, few are aware of the high degree to which legislation shapes language, with the result that the impact of legislation on everyday communication tends to be seriously underestimated. Yet, the words, expressions, and underlying concepts used in many areas of human activity are in fact taken directly from or heavily influenced by the very language of the laws that govern these fields. The state therefore has a fundamental obligation to ensure that its legislation is carefully composed, clearly expressed, and of consistently high quality in its language as a whole.

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.
