Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As a result of cultural currents beginning in 1988, which benefitted from 20<sup>th</sup>-century skepticism about morality (G) – specifically, doubts that arose in 20<sup>th</sup> century metaethics as to whether the supposed “is-ought gap” can or need be bridged – we now have, emanating from the United States and Canada, a global anti-G threat in the form of invasive pedophilia that spreads via the internet because of its cultural hidden-yet-openness. It has, arguably, global political urgency on a par with Generative AI learning to control nuclear weapons. It also has longer-term implications for the sustainability of human societies on a par with the problems of global overpopulation and environmental destruction. The area of concern and remedy is the most germane to the third of the UN's 17 SDGs, but since the UN has no legal power in this respect but can only really inspire, I have set out compactly some ideas about how societies can deal effectively with this existential threat and any others like it, drawing upon Carl Schmitt’s <i>The Concept of the Political</i> and Robert Nozick's <i>Anarchy, State, and Utopia</i>.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
