The Abiotic Internet: Internet Mediation Through Organizational Practice at Na-Me-Res
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis examines the role of the internet in sustaining the organizational practices of Toronto’s Native Men’s Residence (Na-Me-Res) by attempting to answer the question; how essential is the internet in sustaining the delivery of Na-Me-Res’s key programs and services? The theoretical framework employed in the course of this study synthesizes the concept of indirect interactions borrowed from Ecology Studies (Moon, Moon, Keagy, 2010; Wootton, 1994) with a Systems Theory (Capra Luisi, 2014; Luhmann, 1986) approach to explicating social patterns within complex organizations. Semi-structured interviews, visual aids, and non participatory observations were employed with a view to investigating the internet’s role in supporting Na-Me-Res’s operations from the background of daily practice. The results illuminate that the internet can be framed as an abiotic resource within the organization, one that is indirectly implicated in the lives of clients and residents as a socially mediated technology resource.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
