Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This thesis has its origins in the philosophical problem of mind and its relationship to the body. Despite well-known and irreconcilable difficulties with Descartes's articulation of mind body dualism, subsequent philosophers nonetheless accepted his commitment to scientific objectivity in their own theories of mind. As a result of their obsession with scientific objectivity, contemporary physicalists, computational theorists and naturalists ultimately discouraged a successful resolution for the mind/body problem. After critically examining their theories in this light, I argue that a resolution to the problem of mind will be better served by a renewed conception of what constitutes objectivity, one which is better equipped to accommodate subjective, first-person features of mind. I call this new conception “relational (or intersubjective) objectivity” and point out some of the advantages of this approach. In the final chapter, I discuss some consequences of this for education and especially for the use of computers in education.

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.
