Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The aim of this chapter is to revisit the major arguments of the seventeenth-century debate concerning laws and powers in service of two main points. First, though the dominant conception of nature was such that there was no room for power in bodies, the very idea that laws govern the behaviour of (bits of) matter in motion brought with it the following issue, which came under sharp focus in the work of Leibniz: <italic>how can passive matter, devoid of power, obey laws?</italic> Though Leibniz’s answer was to reintroduce powers, two radically different conceptualizations of the relation between laws and powers became available after him. Hume denied powers altogether, whereas Newton thought that to introduce a power is to introduce a law. Second, though laws were meant to replace powers, the real dilemma ended up being not laws vs. powers, but rather necessity vs. non-necessity in nature.

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.
