Prescription à la recherche du temps: In Search of Past Time (or Recognition of Things Past)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
My concern with prescription -- using articles of the Quebec Civil Code and supporting doctrine -- centres around a rather precise set of theoretical issues, with practical import, that focus on the rules of acquisitive prescription as they interoperate in the books on property and publicity on the Civil Code, and in particular how these rules might be understood and justified. I wish to canvas the relation of time, through the means of prescription, to property rights, by delving into the justifications for usucapion. This inquiry sheds light on the nature of property, possession and publicity. To some extent these justifications for usucapion track those traditionally advanced for possession, but at an important point – the change in ownership – the argumentative or persuasive force of the justifications changes; an overlap not always well acknowledged or understood in the literature. The point of divergence is, in my view, most enlightening.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
