Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This research paper explores the discourse of municipal climate change adaptation in the context of planning. Dryzek's criteria are used which analyzes 4 dimensions of a discourse: basic entitites; assumptions about natural relationships; agents and their motives; and, key metaphors and other rhetorical devices. Policies are analyzed from two municipalities in Canada: Toronto, Ontario and Halifax Regional Municipality. Analysis reveals climate change is assumed to already happening and requires action; a hierarchy of vulnerable "objects" including the city, citizens, ecoystems that need protection from a "subject" or the city; experts and government have the responsibility to educate the public; and rhetorical devices suggest urgency which can be used to reinforce a system of hierarchy that alienates citizens from the process.

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.
