Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Traditionally, to test whether the hypothesised organisation of behaviour generates the behavioural markers selected for measurement has required experiments or comparisons across species, sex and age. In the last couple of decades, important strides have been made in developing ways to create virtual animals, either on a computer screen or as freely moving robots, that can be programmed to produce the behaviour of interest. If the programmed rules are sufficient to produce the behaviour of real animals, then that adds independent evidence for the proposed organisation. Novel testing methods is one direction for the future. Another is to identify additional organisational principles. For example, some level of randomness seems essential for the production of effective functional behaviour. A challenge for the future is to understand how random processes are integrated with the causal processes described in the preceding chapters.

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.
