Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter deals with complex systems models of obesity, defining the distinctions between simple, complicated, and complex problems. The Foresight map is used as a heuristic tool to show the various reasons why obesity can be viewed as an emergent property of a complex system, and the chapter then explains the implications of accepting obesity as complex and introduces solutions appropriate for complex problems. Even without a detailed description of the hallmarks of complex systems, the Foresight obesity system map does an excellent job of conveying the notion that obesity is a complex problem. As illustrated, this complexity exists on many different levels and by many different mechanisms, any one of which by itself may make the problem seem intractable. Through application of an Intervention Level Framework, one can comprehend the many actions that are needed to address obesity at multiple levels of the system.

Not 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.
