Abstract
The Constitution of Law: Legality in a Time of Emergency , David Dyzenhaus, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2006, pp. xv, 250. This book, which began life as the 2004 J.C. Smuts lectures at the University of Cambridge, is contribution to the burgeoning debate about emergency powers in post-9/11 liberal democracies. States that pride themselves on their commitment to constitutionalism and the rule of law find themselves engaged in the difficult task of suspending or restricting the operation of civil liberties while simultaneously trumpeting their own commitment to the liberal values that they purport to be defending against threat. As Dyzenhaus usefully reminds us, the predicament is not a new one. Smuts himself not only survived being on the wrong side of a colonial insurrection but, before becoming prime-minister of South Africa and a leading architect of apartheid (a paradigm example of injustice carried on under colour of legality), played a walk-on role in legal opposition to the notorious DORA, the Defence of the Realm (Consolidation) Act that allowed detention without trial in the United Kingdom during the First World War. These are murky waters, indeed.

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
