Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The notion of textual agency refers to the capacity displayed by texts to do things in various circumstances. It consists of recognizing that various types of texts—whether through the form of written documents, iconic signs, or even oral productions—can make a difference in a given situation. By mobilizing this notion, we can understand how and why people can sometimes be betrayed or deceived by what they say, a phenomenon that conversation analysts identified a long time ago, but that they never really explained. Textual agency should, however, not be restricted to cases of misunderstanding. If there is such a thing as mutual comprehension for all practical purposes, it is because the texts we produce can also faithfully translate what we mean to say.

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.
