Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Inclusive Legal Positivism (ILP) is the view that morality may, but need not be part of the criteria for valid law. Joseph Raz has argued against this position by showing that law cannot be authoritative on the ILP view. In this paper I argue that ILP and Razian authority can in fact be made compatible by developing Jules Coleman's distinction between authority and legality. While the rule of recognition is a necessary condition for legality (in order to validate law), it need not be a condition for authority (for citizens to identify law). By elaborating on this distinction and further developing the argument, I conclude that one can be an inclusive positivist about law and a Razianabout authority.

Not 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.
