Abstract
This chapter lies at the intersection of two larger projects, one on Immanuel Kant’s legal and political philosophy, and the other on the relation between private law and distributive justice. It uses the Kantian idea of private ordering to explain the place of private law in what John Rawls has described as the “division of responsibility” between society and the individual. The chapter explains why private law is an essential part of what, for Rawls, is the fundamental subject of justice — the coercive structure of society. It argues that private law is only a system of reciprocal limits on freedom, provided that those limits are general in the right way. The chapter also argues that the best way to think about Rawls's emphasis on public provision of adequate rights and opportunities is in parallel terms: they are essential conditions to the very possibility of enforceable rights, because they are the moral prerequisites for a shared public sphere.

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
