Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This thesis attempts to explain the phenomena of ultradilution and homeopathic potentization with an anecdotal account of a biotinylated dot-blot demonstration of ultradilution brought to the attention of the Pomeranz laboratory, University of Toronto, in 1989. It is argued that the dot-blots are not only data but that they are also an expression of ultradilution itself. Moreover, it is considered that ultradilution and homeopathic potentization can be explained by: (1) Poincaré's recurrence (the disappearance and return of the signal); (2) succussion, resonance and amplification (preservation of the signal); (3) quantum coherence domains (the nature of the signals); and (4) generation of harmonics (the transformation of the signal).

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.
