Abstract
The decision to allow intensive urbanisation in flood plains is a classic case of moral hazard. Urbanisation increases the risk that floods will damage property in the flood plain to the detriment of individual owners and other property owners. Efforts to control flood plain development collide with the two dominant theories of property rights. Property rights can either be characterised as prepolitical (John Locke) or a creation of the state (Thomas Hobbes). In either case, the Western liberal tradition prefers private property or places a burden on the state to justify regulation. Thus, flood plain property owners who are subject to severe restrictions will invoke the constitutional clause of property rights to invalidate any regulation. This article examines three constitutional regimes that offer a high, medium, and low proportion to property, United States, Germany, and Canada, to examine the impact of these regimes on flood plain regulation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
