Abstract

The focus is on the organizational change induced by the development of information technologies. A careful analysis of regulation reveals that what is often presented as autonomy in work is, in many cases, not autonomy at all, that is, not the result of rules established by the acting subject, but rather the result of rules imposed by others, and increasingly, as information technology advances, through digital procedures. From the initial research on “computer-aided” design, Masino’s theory allowed unraveling these false autonomies in the subsequent, numerous transformations of work, up to the recent confusions induced in cases of activities that appear legally “independent” but are in fact rigidly constrained in content.

Stored with the screening record, where it is evidence for the labels above.

Full frame machine prediction

Teacher imitation

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.
