Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ion is at the heart of mathematics. The power of mathematics in society rests on its claims to truths that transcend human subjectivity and culture. For example, for commerce to be fair it is very important that all parties agree on how to find the sum of a set of numbers. The result should not depend on how rich or poor you are or on your ethnic background. In such instances a frozen and static mathematics is a powerful tool for making convincing arguments. This is especially important in democracies, in which argument is supposed to be based on dialogue, not status. However, even when people use mathematics in deliberation (or argument), they have to decide to agree that mathematics is an appropriate tool for the problem being addressed. Furthermore, when we choose mathematics, we have to choose what to count and how to use the results of our counting. Though mathematics is cold and static, it has to be picked up and manipulated as a tool by a warm human body who makes decisions about how to apply the tool. Mathematics can be a dangerous tool for exploitation if some people know they can make choices with it and others believe that mathematics is free from human choices. Those who believe that mathematics is values-free or independent of culture are open to being manipulated by others who are savvy with their mathematics.

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.
