Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

One reviewer of A House Divided remarks that in my contribution, a lead-up article to this book, it is Davidson who emerges as “the real hero” (Prado 2003a, 2003b; Lackey, forthcoming). This is because, in considering the question of confirmation or justification and reality's role, Davidson, while never coming close to impugning realism, nonetheless cogently argues that the only reason we can have for holding a belief is another belief, and that there is no possibility of demonstrating the truth of a belief or sentence by comparing it with some bit of extralinguistic reality. Though more problematic in several ways, Foucault's position is importantly similar to Davidson's. The basic similarity between Davidson and Foucault is found in the latter's holding that discursive truth and the establishment of discursive truth in confirmation are separated from brute reality by the fact that brute reality plays no epistemic role in the determination of truth despite its essential role in the causing of belief.

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.
