Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Trust drafting practices have changed dramatically in recent decades. A range of considerations has led to an increase in the dispositive discretions held by trustees. In some cases, the trustees’ dispositive discretions effectively govern the whole trust structure, leading to what the author calls a ‘massively discretionary trust’. These trusts create a series of legal risks. These include the possibility that the trust property is held on resulting trust from the moment of the trust’s constitution and the possibility that the beneficiaries can collapse the trust and take the trust property. Some drafting techniques may be based on a misunderstanding of the law; some may invite litigation; and the governing legal principles, as understood by some drafters, may be subject to revision and refinement by the courts. This article will examine some of these possibilities using concrete examples.

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.
