Abstract
The primary purpose of the paper is to describe the theoretical underpinnings of the construct para-social presence (PSP). Para-social presence refers to the extent to which a medium facilitates a sense of understanding, connection, involvement and interaction among participating social entities. PSP treats the Web site as a valid social actor and attempts to capture the emerging interaction between a Web site and her visitors. We then borrow extensively from communication literature to develop an instrument to measure this construct. We use confirmatory factor analysis to develop the salient features of this multi-dimensional construct. Even though we focus on PSP in a specific context, e-commerce, we believe that PSP is a construct that is more general and powerful that can be used in many different contexts, including distributed group support systems environments.

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
