Abstract
This is a two-fold response to the theory of attitudes presented by David Lewis in his paper A ttitudes De Dicto and De Se . Lewis’ theory is on the specification of attitudes. On the one hand, it is obvious in his text that Lewis attempts to specify the objects of attitudes uniformly. I will argue that the attempt fails. The reason is that from Lewis’ formulation of an attitude, we cannot read the object of it. On the other hand, Lewis’ account could have been a theory on the specification of attitudes without any commitment on what the objects of attitudes are. I will argue that this does not hold either. In order to do that, I will construct pairs of cases in which the attitude in one case has the same formulization as in the other case according to Lewis’ theory. I will argue that in one such pair of cases, the focus of the attitude in one case can be different from that in the other, while the Lewisian theory of attitudes does not help to specify an attitude’s focus .

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
