Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The paper’s main concern are the intersections of the urban fabric and process with their political ecologies and political pathologies. Density is the substrate of core debates we are having in geography, urban studies and urban practice. These debates have oscillated between the states of hope and panic about the role of density in our urban futures and they have been sharpened by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. The paper argues for a contextual and relational notion of density and points to a core dilemma of the concept of density: there is always either too much or too little of it.

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.
