Abstract
Political and social changes following the collapse of communism in the last quarter of the 20th century and the globalization that progressed in the early 21st century led to the need of rebuilding academic institutions. This has also initiated discussions about the condition of the University. In this article, the author, taking Fr. Jacek Woroniecki's article Pupil or book (first printing 1918) as a starting point, shows that the university is in a state of permanent crisis. Its source is alienation, i.e. a situation in which what is only a means becomes an end through the activities of people and institutions, "art for art's sake." Just as in the days of Fr. Woroniecki's activity writing scientific books became an end in itself, the shortest and surest way to achieve a professorship, so in our modern times the tools of the so-called parameterization of scientific achievements have become alienated. Reading Fr. Woroniecki's article inevitably leads to the conclusion that alienation creates pathologies in social life. However, in each era it manifests itself in a different way.

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
