Abstract
This text presents the Explorations 2050 methodology based on its application to quantum technologies between 2022 and 2023 Quantum Explorations 2050 at Grenoble Alpes University in collaboration with the University of Sherbrooke. The methodology brings together researchers and citizens to develop collective imaginaries about the future of technologies in order to think scientifically about the human and societal challenges of technological innovation in a participatory research approach. Participants (researchers, citizens, artists, businesses, etc.) imagined socio-technical futures mobilising quantum physics by 2050. Imagination is used as a performative tool capable of influencing technological trajectories. The method combines design fiction workshops, morphological analysis and literary narration. Five contrasting scenarios of societies coexisting in 2050 are produced. These narratives explore the tensions between technosolutionism and sobriety, innovation and ethics on individual and collective scales. The project shows how collective narratives can co-construct meaning and inform collective deliberation on innovations. In this respect, Explorations 2050 offers a novel methodological framework for thinking about ‘imaginaries of action’ capable of influencing research and innovation policies. While highlighting the risks of possible drifts towards technological standardisation of imaginaries of the future, the authors call for truly transformative creativity.

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
