Abstract
Khoury has a plan for commanding the attention of decision makers. She is keenly aware that the field she investigates is one where courts have accorded slight attention to theory. She acknowledges early in her book that academic efforts to resolve the conundra of factual causation have only played a minor role in their solution by the judiciary. She further correctly notes that decades of theoretical effort have failed to prevent the emergence of practical problems in the demonstration and assessment of causation... Indeed, she seems to waver between thinking that scholarship has merely been unsuccessful in commanding the attention of courts and the harsher assessment that academic efforts in this field have been demonstrably wrong, or at least have failed to produce satisfactory solutions even at the theoretical level. In any event, regardless of whether she views academic efforts in this area as unsuccessful or merely as ineffectual, Khoury certainly eschews any pretense of engaging at length with any of the theoretical offerings of her predecessors. She disclaims any attempt to address and solve philosophical or theoretical issues related to causation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
