Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Due to the unrivaled efficiency of digital banking, paper currency is facing obsolescence.Profiles may be permanently etched on the surface of bank notes, coins, and cheques, but the manner in which these vestiges narrate our lapsed human relationships will ultimately contribute to re-defining a nation's identity, and the space of its capital city.Over the past quarter century, Caracas, Venezuela has been subject to a spectrum of economic trends: politically advantageous oil trades in the 1980s and 1990s, The 1994 Banking Crisis, inflation rates reaching an annual height of 500% from 2015 to 2017, and a series of corrupt administrations which have ignited heinous crimes, ongoing exponential growth in impoverished neighbourhoods, and the current extreme shortages of basic living supplies.It has been labeled the world's most violent city.This thesis will investigate the capital city of Caracas and its systems of exchange, expropriations and exploitation, all in the context of an evolving spatial currency.It will ask the question: how can we reveal exchange value as a function of spatial networks, and at shifting scales?Annotation by original author.

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.
