Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Throughout Splintering Urbanism, Stephen Graham and Simon Marvin draw attention to the inadequacy of conventional representational paradigms for capturing the vast networked systems comprising contemporary urban space. In their postscript, they make this claim explicit, writing that a new “spatial imaginary” is required “to support the challenges of addressing and researching splintering cities.” In this commentary, I explore this provocation, asking who and what imagines infrastructure? Of what does a progressive infrastructural imaginary consist? And how might such an imaginary be brought about?

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.

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.
