Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article explores the concept of "de-writing," which involves suspending writing, diverting it in order to better understand it in a research-creation approach. De-writing is then considered as a new regime of the act of writing, particularly in connection with digital media culture. The article analyzes the mediatic and ontological change of writing through the work of Friedrich Kittler. It examines how writing in collaboration with the machine calls into question the notions of originality and the primacy of the human in creativity. As an epistemological and performative model, the article introduces the idea of "misuse," where a use of a tool, format, or medium deviating from the use initially intended, allows to explore new modes of writing.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
