Abstract
Abstract Economic development under capitalism is uneven, both socially and spatially. The existing literature, both mainstream social sciences and Marxist political economy, generally separates social inequality (inequality among classes and class-fractions) from spatial inequality. It also pays insufficient attention to how capitalist accumulation and the capitalist state together produce social and spatial inequality. What is needed is an integrated perspective that examines three mechanisms. First, how capitalism dispossesses small-scale producers and exploits wage-labour, and in the process develops productive forces. Second, how capitalism thus produces impacts which are unequal between classes/class-fractions and between places, within an urban region and between urban regions. Third, how capitalism’s unequal impacts are mediated by the capitalist state and the collective agency of classes. Such mediation in the context of an urban region implies that the latter becomes not only the theatre of capital but also a terrain of political action of urban and rural workers.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
