Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

JM: OK, now I'd like to get clear about the current status of Universal Grammar (UG). When you begin to focus in the account of acquisition on the notion of biological development, it seems to throw into the study of language a lot more – or at least different – issues than had been anticipated before. There are not only the questions of the structure of the particular faculty that we happen to have, and whatever kinds of states it can assume, but also the study of how that particular faculty developed . . .

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.
