Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The famous theory media equal to information was known as the the Copernicus Revolution in the field of medium research, which was put forward by a Canadian propagator McLuhan in 1960's because it focused on propagation media itself instead of media content. When newspapers, radios and TV played a leading role in the times of news, the theory was brushed aside and even was belittled as technology determinism. After the wide use of Internet, the development of the medium technology has exerted more and more influence on man and society formation. The writer thinks that with the fast development of medium technology, the novel theory, directed to the medium research, should expand its connotations and extensions.

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.
