Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This is a book of modest intentions, but within its self-imposed limits it works well. It is a light and easy sociological tour of a number of areas of Scottish life over the past two to three decades population; families and households; income, wealth and poverty; social class and social opportunity; education and life chances; and consumption, lifestyle and culture. The content is heavily statistical: the main body of the text is well larded with tables and graphs, and a quarter of the volume is given over to an appendix containing further background tables. All this statistical material is helpfully packaged in a CD that is attached to the inside cover. However, the authors write so as to ensure that the numbers do not numb. Their style is clear and accessible, and they tease out points of interest and illumination in the data in a painless way. The text is not long stripped of the tables, it would run to no more than 120 pages. But it does its basic descriptive job well and is sprinkled with fascinating observations and nuggets of information. In the account of social class, for example, we are told that in spite of continuous decline in the size of the working class in Scotland, more and more Scots identify themselves as working class even among professionals and higher managers. What this signifies about identity and sense of self among Scots today is hard to say.

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.
