Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The public interest was defined by Walter Lippman, a founder of the discipline of policy studies, as “what men [sic] would choose if they saw clearly, thought rationally, acted disinterestedly and benevolently.” Building upon this definition, the necessity and utility of assuming such a public‐serving rationality as either a base or ideal condition is a central debate within policy studies. The operationalization of such a condition is critical to the success of participatory democracy, yet the fact that participants cannot be expected to behave in the public interest in contemporary contexts weighs against hope that such an ideal could ever be approached.

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.
