Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In some respects, there is more agreement between Newton and Leibniz on the relativity of motion than is generally recognized. Both were convinced Copernicans, and both accepted that motion could not be a merely extrinsic denomination—there would have to be true motions, and not just apparent ones. And both sought to discriminate true from apparent motions by reference to the causes of motion and to force. Where they differed was in their radically divergent understandings of how causes are related to forces, of how forces are to be determined in relation to quantity of motion, and of the ontological status of absolute or mathematical space. This chapter aims to throw light on the two philosophers’ respective views on the relativity of motion by considering them in their historical genesis.

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.
