Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This commentary reflects on the broader significance of Austin's experience with Project Connect, as discussed in Karner and Shuster's article. It suggests that, absent major shifts in the structure of the American political economy and the character of local political institutions, the struggle for transportation justice will remain challenging. Yet the Austin case makes it clear that not all is lost. The prevalence of ballot initiatives means that local pro-transit coalitions must develop broadly appealing proposals. By building their organizational capacity and taking advantage of strategic opportunities to position themselves as valuable coalition partners, transit justice activists can from time to time achieve the influence needed to score significant victories, even in the face of long odds.

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.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
