Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Isaac Levi stands out as one of the most important philosophers who has worked in the pragmatist tradition. Like his predecessors, Charles Peirce, William James, and John Dewey, Levi insists that we must take practice and context seriously when we think about knowledge and truth. Each of the classical pragmatists followed through on this central insight in a different way and each has motivated a different kind of contemporary pragmatist. Levi's kind focusses on according our existing corpus of belief its actual and proper status in epistemology. What we are concerned with in inquiry – in seeking knowledge – is the revision of that corpus of belief as opposed to the pedigree or origin of belief. What we are concerned with is whether we should retain a commitment or whether we should abandon it in favor of an alternative commitment.

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.
