ΤΟ ΕΡΩΤΗΜΑ
Why is housing unaffordable in our cities?
Αίθουσα δημόσιας καταγραφής. Οι κάρτες της είναι ισχυρισμοί που διατύπωσαν άνθρωποι σε δημόσια συζήτηση· πού ειπώθηκε ο καθένας αναγράφεται στη δεξαμενή, κάτω από τον ισχυρισμό. Ένα πάνελ γλωσσικών μοντέλων αποσαφήνισε τις κάρτες και έκρινε τα ζεύγη: αυτός ο χάρτης είναι ο τρόπος που τα μοντέλα δομούν όσα λέει το κοινό, όχι αυτό που βρήκε μια ομάδα ανθρώπων. Μετράει μόνο μαζί με άλλες αίθουσες δημόσιας καταγραφής. Σχετική έρευνα: πείτε σε ένα μοντέλο ποιο είναι, και οι αιτιακές κρίσεις του μόλις που αλλάζουν, γι’ αυτό το πάνελ αυτό κρίνει ως ο εαυτός του, χωρίς περσόνες.
