Abstract
The purpose of this article is to speculate about the application of John Heron’s concept of Co-operative Inquiry in the context of present day western academic institutions. While this article was written in two institutional locations - one in Canada and the second in Australia, academic contexts in the rest of North America, the UK, and Australia are striking in their similarities. Given the current context of neoliberal policy enacting algorithmic governmentality in education, an application of Co-operative Inquiry as an institutional organizing framework for the work of academics in the humanities, while desirable and possible, would be highly improbable. Since protests and criticisms of the currently ubiquitous policy tend to be muted in view of the risks involved for the protesters, it is suggested that Co-operative Inquiry could be used as a subversive strategy for saving human creative capacity. Keywords: Algorithmic governmentality; corporate university; Co-operative Inquiry; Integral Model; research planning in education

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 it
