Why this work is in the frame

A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.

aboutThe title or abstract carries a Canadian signal from the geographic lexicon.
no affNo Canadian affiliation: this work is invisible to an affiliation-only frame.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame, the usual design, would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.

Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Functioning as re re real antiontology, viral amnesia machinically realizes and dissolves biological [] cultural, and technical 010110100100 [] mnemic structures: chopping-up hierarchic-generational descendency, collapsing phylogenetic tic frozen-code into ontogeny, and immanentizing the past to operative current.-Nick Land, 'Hypervirus', 2011. Bootstrapping Virality'Go Viral!' says the cover of the latest issue of the UK edition of Wired (Feburary, 2014) that I picked up at Montreal airport on my way to Tokyo to attend the 'Life under Influence' seminar.Inside was a five-page long article on Buzzfeed, the 'viral lab' that 'mastered social sharing (and GIFs and kittens) to become a media giant for a new era' (Rowan 2014).But within the article, I could not find any mention of the word 'virus'-much less a definition of this entity-only its adjective form repeated over and over, and a mere reference to 'memes', the word that Richard Dawkins coined 40 years ago to refer to 'mind viruses' (Dawkins 1989(Dawkins [1976]]).Think Grumpy cat.But this, I am afraid, will not help me make my point here.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
