Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Sustainability requires accessibility to material and energy resources with large reserves. We propose that effectively inexhaustible reserves are available from the extraterrestrial environment (specifically, the Moon) and that they can be accessed at low cost. The key to low cost is in the realization of a self-replicating machine which amortises initial capital investment through exponential growth in productive capacity. This self-replicating machine must leverage itself from available lunar resources by expanding its population until sufficient productive capacity is attained to robotically construct solar power satellites to provision Earth with clean energy from space. We describe current work in developing the major parts of a self-replicating machine to enable leveraging of such extraterrestrial resources (energy and material) for a sustainable Earth.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
