Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Part II sets out and elaborates a new theory of chilling effects – a conformity theory – a central contribution of the book. Chapter 3, the first chapter in Part II, lays the theoretical and empirical foundation for this new understanding by connecting chilling effects with a broader body of social science and behavioral theory, in particular, research on social influence, like conformity and compliance. The author begins with an illustration of the power of extralegal social surveillance, convention, and norms to police behavior – at times more effective than laws – and the role of conformity and compliance in these contexts.

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.
