Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The quarry proposed to extract Amabel formation Dolostone by the St. Marys Cement Inc. near Flamborough, Ontario should be implemented based on the arguments of this paper. The quality of the aggregate material, as well as the quantity that St. Marys Cement Inc. hopes to extract would supply enough building material for all of Ontario for nearly two years. However, the construction of the quarry has been strongly opposed by a local community group, Friends of Rural Communities and the Environment (FORCE). The major concerns raised by FORCE have already been addressed by St. Marys Cement Inc., and any further opposition from the community is either based on misinformation provided by FORCE and/or a “not in my back yard” (NIMBY) mentality. “NIMBY-ism” is a selfish, unjustified hindrance to the process of achieving the most efficient outcome for society, an outcome where the needs of the greater good (in this case, aggregate) are fulfilled. The residents of Flamborough and the surrounding area must acknowledge that they too require aggregate material for their roads, houses, and buildings, and that FORCE’s arguments are not for the community or the environment’s wellbeing, but are a front for a NIMBY mentality.

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.
