Abstract
THE PRELUDE "Moral lethargy" certainly does not characterize Barbara Houston's efforts before us today.She has taken on the perplexing topic of responsibility in the context of "large-scale problems of social injustice" with a combination of personal courage, philosophical insight, and pedagogical caring.She works her way through a maze of conceptual problems that bid to confuse and lead people psychologically astray, particularly to emotional dead-ends of "resistance" and "paralysis." 1 I share with Houston the concern that such problems constitute some of the most egregious and seemingly intractable moral/political problems of our contemporary society, and that there is too much gap between this perception and what gets done about them.Moreover, I also agree that the question of a more effective notion of responsibility that can apply to such problems is needed to close this gap.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
