"There is no gravity ... " proposal for a new legal paradigm for air law and space law : orbit law
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As the debate over demarcation between airspace and outer space remains unresolved, advancements in technology are bringing these two realms of flight closer than ever before. Rather than relying on traditional functional or spatial approaches to define the legal framework of flight, this paper proposes a completely new legal system based on orbital status known as "Orbit Law." The first chapter examines the functional versus spatial debate, and highlights those aspects of existing International Air Law and Space Law which may be useful to an Orbit Law regime. Chapter II studies the science bridging air flight with space flight, and proposes the standardization of safety requirements for all suborbital and orbital flights. Finally Chapter III outlines the new legal principles of Orbit Law, highlighting innovative submissions for suborbital and orbital flights, solutions to issues of liability, and "Open Skies" for all flights.

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.
