Abstract
Abolishing alienated labour requires the radical democratization of economic production. Complex systems theory offers tools for theorizing how this radical democracy could be constructed. In complex systems theory, the same structures and transformations appear across multiple domains in the physical and life sciences. Evolution is one such concept. Rather than being linear and gradual, evolution is a nonlinear process in which stable equilibria are punctuated by bursts of catastrophic change. Even catastrophic change, however, happens through an incremental process: the production of new forms through new combinations of existing forms. Each evolutionary permutation of a system is a step into its space of adjacent possibilities. The task of revolutionary theory can be conceptualized as that of plotting a course through capitalism’s adjacent possibility space, bringing the system to a benign catastrophe that triggers a phase transition into socialism. The complexity of this mapping requires a distributed processing approach to theorizing that prefigures the distributed processing, or socialist general intellect, that must characterize any radically democratic worker control of production. This project suggest the expansion of a new role for professional intellectuals: that of tool makers, developing conceptual materials that feed a recursive process of the construction of socialist networks.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
