Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract: Dorothy Wrinch (1894–1976) is now best known as a mathematical biologist, but she began her career as a set-theorist with strong (and general) philosophical interests. During the period 1916–21 she worked very closely with Russell—perhaps more closely and over a greater range of philosophical topics than anyone else during those years. In this paper I want to examine some of the philosophical issues that come to light in their correspondence, in particular those that relate to the change in Russell's philosophy that took place at this time. In a second paper, I will publish all that is known to survive of their correspondence together with some background biographical information.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
