Abstract
In this research project the intentions with which Amsterdam’s Digital City was built are evaluated, based on a historical account. The Digital City has been a virtual city in Amsterdam between February 1994 and July 2001. It was inspired by the Community Networks movement in the US and Canada and functioned as a Free-Net in the Netherlands, but has attracted international interest for the design it had chosen: it used the metaphor of a city to structure the information and communication in cyberspace and made the users into ‘inhabitants’. The history of this virtual city is described in four distinct periods which are each put in the perspective of four themes that are important for the Community Network movement: social cohesion, third places, freedom of information and democracy. The experience with DDS suggests that the free and open information and communication space can hardly be institutionalised. Compared with the success of the internet in this regard we can see that open standards and protocols that respect the gift economy in cyberspace are important to achieve this. DDS might not have been open enough because of its institutionalisation and the closed

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.
