Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

John Locke's Two Treatises of Government, with its suggestions that Indigenous peoples have failed to invest labor into their lands and to develop government by law, has long been recognized as justifying the dispossession of the nations of Turtle Island. Locke was, however, an avid reader of travel books, and his notes on Franciscan friar Gabriel Sagard's Histoire du Canada (1636), which describes life among the Wendat, show that Locke was open to learning from Indigenous cultures, and even imagined writing a utopia based on Wendat social and political life.

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.
