Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article is based on an invited keynote lecture to the Qualitative Health Research meetings in Banff, Alberta, in April 2002 and so is written in an informal style. The author begins with problems in traditional epidemiology, with its focus on the case record and the epidemiological triad of host, agent, and environment. The idea of a person-in-context "movie" is offered as an alternative kind of case record, and broader issues of identity and context are added to enrich the explanations of those records. In the original presentation, an agent-based model in the style of complexity theory was demonstrated. That model is beyond the scope of this article and is now under review by a complexity journal; a draft manuscript is available on request.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
