Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The striking feature of our civilisation, as it globalises around the aspiration to unprecedented prosperity, is the persistence and even increase of poverty, which affects half the world's population. We care, justifiably, about the victims of genocide and of natural disasters. But there is no coherent basis for the ethical double standard whereby we accept the poverty manufactured by our society, even though it kills more surely and methodically than machetes and militias, more widely and systematically than floods or earthquakes. To address the contradiction between the equality proclaimed in the granting of rights and growing inequality in access to life‐giving resources is essential for the preservation of our own humanity. And the only way to do this is to recognise that poverty is, by its very nature, a violation of human rights, which thus cries out not for alleviation or even eradication, but for abolition.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
