Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A new theory is needed to account for Equity’s role in upholding dignity. This article establishes that necessity through a review of recent developments in practice and existing legal theories. Canadian and Australian courts have resorted to Equity to address exigent and contemporary dignitary concerns in the spheres of workplaces and intimate relationships. These decisions provoke the question of whether a characteristic role is played by Equity in upholding dignity. Existing theories of the relationship between dignity and law and theories of Equity both point toward such a role. None, however, give a complete answer. This article draws upon the cases and theoretical contributions to lay the groundwork for a new theory that offers such an account.

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.
