Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We inherit our environment just as much as our genes. What is more integral to one's behaviour: the innate qualities or the influences on the individual? Philosophers such as Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau have had strong, conflicting opinions on this issue. While Hobbes opines that human beings existing in a state of nature, are savage and brutal; Locke gives a theory which is today referred to as ‘the blank slate’. For Rousseau humans are born innately good and it is the society that corrupts. All these theories are reflected in one way or the other in our recent educational trends and practices. Nature cannot be changed but nurture can be devised in ways so as to instruct students in balancing the demands of id, ego and superego. While Pavlov's conditioning and Watson's behaviourism highlight the role of environment; Chomsky and Howard Gardner have laid importance on innate abilities. However, one cannot deny that both nature and nurture cannot function without each other.

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.
