Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The passage of Bill 23 aims to improve academic success and excellence in education. However, it is part of a legislative continuum which has led to a growing surveillance and control of the Quebec education system in the hands of the minister of education. This centralization opens the door to ideological management which undermines the education of young people, the training and work of school staff, science, and academic freedom. Borrowing the idea of ​​the panopticon from Foucault, and from James C. Scott’s analysis of the eye of the state, this article presents the risks of authoritarian control with the aim of modernizing, monitoring, standardizing, and punishing.

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.
