Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article challenges the conventional view that the Charter is not applicable to the protection of individuals from regulation by financial incentives. The Charter applies whenever individuals are coerced by government. This coercion can be direct and overt, as with punishment, but it can also be indirect and covert as in the case of regulation by licensing, the awarding of contracts and tax incentives. Regulation by financial incentives gives rise to the possibility of subtle coercion in the forms of clever dealing, unconscionable bargains, deceptive expectations and covert punishment. The author argues that the liberty schema of the Charter should apply when regulatory enticement is coercive and not purely facilitative.

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.
