This plan covers the fourteen that follow the *Organization Science* +AI-Enabled Frontiers entry (1 Nov), plus the SASE Network J fallback (16 Dec), which only matters +if the MC09 abstract is not sent on 1 Nov. FAccT, ECIS, ILPC, SASE MC09 and the *Organization +Science* methods proposal are out of scope. + +Every arm today holds the same five files: a CFP digest, an abstract, a premise/premise/conclusion +argument, an outline and a flags list. None has a paper. The work that remains is the same for each: +verify the call, settle the shared rulings, card the sources the flags name, draft to the outline, +audit citations and overlap, then hand the author a read-aloud copy.

(b) SASE owns the four features. (c) +*Organization Science* Agency owns standing at the organizational level; Exetasis keeps democratic +sovereignty. (d) The OT vocabulary (interpreting, specifying intent, tracking) wins, and the codebook +is relabelled. (e) The crumple zone to CEPE, the two failure modes to OT with EGOS 64 citing them, the +Selznick reversal to SASE. (f) Sub-theme 64, because it asks the rules-of-play question directly. (g) +Reject the EURAM risk unless the OT decision timeline makes acceptance before June 2027 implausible. +(h) Cite as "Author (under review)" in anonymized versions and as the OT working paper where the +venue is not blind. + +## The common build pipeline + +Each arm walks the same six stages. The per-arm sections below name only what is specific to it. + +1. **Verify the call in a browser.** Eight arms rest on a blocked or aggregator-only page: *ISJ*, + *I&O* Hype, *I&O* Assemblages, the *Organization Science* Agency INFORMS PDF, *Personnel + Psychology* (Wiley), the *JITCAR* and *SIJ* author instructions, the EGOS short-paper PDF, and the + AlgorLit date (page says 15 Nov, calendar link says 15 Oct). Record each read in the arm's + `cfp/README.md` with the date, and fix length, format and prior-publication rules there. +2. **Settle the rulings** above that touch the arm. +3. **Card the sources** the FLAGS name as missing or abstract-depth, in + `lima_pdw/literature/cards/` or the arm's own `literature/`, at full-text depth before any + quotation. The OT arm's `CITATION_DEPTH.md` rule applies: quotable only at full text. +4. **Draft to the outline.** Abstracts are finalized in `ABSTRACT.md`; papers go in a new + `PAPER.md`, mirroring [`ecis2027_algorithmacy_is/`](ecis2027_algorithmacy_is/) (PAPER.md, + `figures/` with a generating script). Anything Claude writes is marked as Claude's draft. +5. **Audit.** A tiered citation audit against the cards, a claim check sentence by sentence, the + FLOW_AND_COHESION self-check, and an overlap check against the audit's split table and the OT + manuscript. Prose findings are recorded, not applied; the author rules. +6. **Hand off and record.** The author reads aloud and submits. On submission, update the arm's + README status, `CALENDAR.md`, `README.md` and `NOW.md`, and freeze the sent text as + `*_SUBMITTED.md`. + +## Shared research tasks + +Card these once and share them, since several arms lean on each.

AlgorLit 2027 (15 Nov, 23:59 Madrid) + +Exists: abstract (390 words, within the 300–500 range), argument, outline. Verify: the date, in a browser; +if the calendar link is right the call closed on 15 Oct. Research: check each literacy definition +carded (Dogruel 2021, DeVito 2021, Oeldorf-Hirsch & Neubaum 2023, Gagrčin 2026) for whether it names +a second person; that reading is the "Results" the template asks for and it is the author's claim. +Build: the abstract already carries the four required headings (Objectives, Methodology, Results, +Contribution) and five keywords, and names no author; the remaining work is the author's read-aloud. Decision: +submit by 13 Nov. Paper (4,000–6,000 words) only after the 15 Jan notification; card Wilkinson, +Olson and Goody & Watt then. + +### 2. *JITCAR* (15 Nov) + +Exists: abstract, argument, outline. Verify: the author instructions (UTCA) for length and article +types; the journal may want a case. Research: Tong et al. 2021, the two full texts above. Build: a +full paper in nineteen days across ALGOCON and the *Slacker* final is not realistic without dropping +something else. Recommendation: hold. If the author overrules, draft §1–§3 from the outline in the +week of 9 Nov and accept a thin first version. Overlap caution: the OT conclusion already names +hiring, appraisal and peer collaboration as triadic; the contribution here is the allocation +framework. + +### 3. SPM2027 (15 Dec) + +Exists: abstract (185 words, within the 150–250 range), argument, outline. Verify: nothing blocked. Research: +card Ihde and Verbeek; re-read Jhaver et al. 2018 and Eslami et al. 2019 for the exact wording the +flags question. Build: the abstract names its framework (Simmel's third); the author writes the 50–100-word +biography. Decision: go if the author will present +virtually or travel. Submit on EasyChair by 10 Dec. + +### 4. SASE Network J (16 Dec), fallback only + +Exists: abstract (824 words), argument, 7-section outline. Build: lengthen the abstract to about +1,000 words. Rulings b and e apply. Skip entirely if MC09 goes out on 1 Nov; SASE bars the same paper +in two homes. + +### 5. CEPE 2027 (31 Dec, rolling) + +Exists: abstract (621 words, within the 600–800 range), argument, outline. Verify: nothing blocked. Research: +Bovens's page; Herzberger and Burch on the conditions of Peirce's reduction thesis; the Katsh & Rifkin +"fourth party" wording; convert Lyons's and Kroll's arXiv pages. Build: the abstract is within range, APA, +and names no author. Rulings a and e apply. Decision: send by email in the first week of +December so the rolling review sees it before the OT push. The 5,000-word paper (15 Mar) is only for +the journal route; decide that after the 31 Jan notification, since it would publish the forum +argument first. + +### 6. EURAM 2027 (12 Jan, 14:00 Brussels) + +Exists: abstract (368 words, under the cap), argument, condensation outline. Verify: the platform +opens late November; check *Organization Theory*'s policy on prior conference presentation. Research: +Okhuysen & Bechky pages. Build: condense the OT manuscript to 10–40 double-spaced pages for ST09_03, +anonymized, with the deskilling paragraph rewritten rather than reused. Ruling g gates the arm; +submitting also commits the author to review two papers. Working default: dropped (see +[`CFP_RULINGS_2026-10-27.md`](CFP_RULINGS_2026-10-27.md)). If the author overrules by 30 Nov, condense +in the first week of January, after the OT draft is frozen. + +### 7. EGOS 2027 sub-theme 64 (15 Jan, 12:00 CET) + +Exists: abstract, argument, outline. Verify: the short-paper length in the guidelines PDF; whether +review is blind, which decides "the author calls" versus "this paper calls". Research: Bolton et al. +2013 (for the full paper, not the short one); confirm the Eliane Bucher 2021 reading. Build: the +short paper, around 3,000 words if the usual cap holds, built on the convenors' question with +anticipatory compliance as the new evidence and the two failure modes cited to OT. Ruling f decides +between this and the sub-theme 03 Google Doc; the working default is sub-theme 64, compared side by +side in [`CFP_RULINGS_2026-10-27.md`](CFP_RULINGS_2026-10-27.md). Decision: confirm f by 30 Nov; draft in the second week of +December or the first week of January. + +### 8. *ISJ* (31 Jan, unverified) + +Exists: abstract, argument, outline. Verify: the Wiley call page in a browser for date, editors, +length and article types; nothing else proceeds until then. Research: Burrell 2016, Ananny & Crawford +2018, DeVito et al. 2017 at full text. Build: a full paper on three design properties (provenance +cues, dual address, change notice) with propositions, citing Spaces in the Stream as the author's +working paper. The contribution must not restate OT's "situated competence" shift. Decision: January +holds the OT STS (binding), EURAM, EGOS and *Organization Science* Agency. If the call is confirmed, +this is the cheapest full paper to drop. Draft only if *Organization Science* Agency is on track by +15 Jan. + +### 9. *I&O* Hype Studies (31 Jan, unverified) + +Exists: abstract, argument, outline. Verify: the ScienceDirect call and the late-2026 online PDW; the +PDW is the test of fit. Research: the hype and expectations literature, the AI-literacy market +(UNESCO and OECD documents, read directly rather than through Kamperman & Graff), Ng et al. 2021 at +full text. Build: a full paper only if the PDW accepts the abstract. The tension with OT's "handing +books to people who cannot read" image must be addressed in §1. Decision: hold unless the PDW +confirms. If the PDW runs in November or December, send the abstract; otherwise drop. + +### 10. *I&O* Algorithmic Assemblages (unconfirmed) + +Stub. Verify: ScienceDirect 325053 in a browser. If closed, mark the folder dropped in its README and +in `README.md`. If a new deadline exists, open an angle ("assemblages as triads," field level) distinct +from *Organization Science* Agency and *I&O* Hype, and schedule it then. + +### 11. *Organization Science* Agency in the Age of AI (1 Feb; portal opens 2 Nov) + +Exists: abstract, argument, outline. Verify: the INFORMS PDF (the newer version linked from the +18 Oct post) for length, format, timezone and prior-publication rules. Research: Pettit, Emirbayer & +Mische, Murray et al. 2021, Faraj; engage Stelmaszak et al.'s rejection of "counterpart" (p. 351). +Rulings c and e apply. Build: the full paper on competence × standing, with the three practices as a +summary cited to OT under review. This is the arm most worth the author's own prose; the OT arm's +rule 1 (Claude edits, the author writes) should carry over. Decision: go. Draft §2–§4 in December +alongside the OT finish, §5–§6 and the audit in January, read-aloud by 25 Jan. + +### 12. *MISQE* Insight (1 Mar) + +Exists: abstract, argument, outline. Verify: nothing blocked. Research: re-pin every documentation +claim to a version number and date against the current Claude Code files; the send-now key +(v2.1.275) changed earlier wording. Build: an Insight of 1,800–3,500 words resting on agent autonomy +(proceeding alone, timing out, asking less), vignettes marked hypothetical or replaced with +documented cases, a conflict-of-interest disclosure for Claude's role. Keep "organizational +capability" out; it belongs to *JITCAR*. Decision: go. Draft in the first two weeks of February. + +### 13. *JMS* Organizing Truth (3 May) + +Exists: abstract, argument, outline. Verify: nothing blocked; an AI-use declaration is required. +Research: Orlikowski & Scott 2014, Fradkin et al. 2021, Espeland & Sauder, Martin 2019, Kornberger +et al. 2017, Bolton et al. 2013 journal version. Build: 10,000–13,000 words all-inclusive on +epistemic arbitration and counter-records, with a 200-word abstract and alphabetical keywords. No +"standing" (owned by *Organization Science* Agency). Decision: go. Card in February, draft March to +mid-April, audit and read-aloud in the last two weeks of April. + +### 14. *SIJ* (30 Jun) + +Exists: abstract, argument, outline. Verify: the author instructions (FSIJ) for length. Research: +Fradkin et al. 2021, Fink 2025 journal version paired with Sterz 2024, a source for hotel-internal +systems, Lin et al. 2026. Build: the break-point × mechanism framework with new cases (Edelman, +Zervas, Fink), no interface features (owned by *ISJ*), no OT wording. Decision: go. Draft May to +mid-June from the hospitality library. + +### 15. *Personnel Psychology* (1–27 Aug) + +Exists: planned-study abstract, argument, outline; the instrument, pre-registration, codebook and +analysis plan in `org_frontier/survey/cohort_algorithmacy/`. Verify: the Wiley page for format; +whether wave 1 opened. Research: none external; the work is the panel. Build, in order: fix the +pre-registration inconsistency (three Zhou subscales, Remediating omitted) and the placeholder commit +date before wave 2; revise the items that name only "a tool or system" so each names the counterpart +and the system together, if wave 1 has not opened; file the Research Progress & Review Form before +wave 2; decide on a second sample (GauntleTT, which needs its own IRB) given a cohort in the tens. +Ruling d fixes the facet vocabulary. Write "hypotheses fixed before data collection", never +"pre-registered". Decision: go only with three waves in hand. Analysis February to March, draft June +to July, submit in the August window. + +## Schedule + +The schedule assumes the OT paper takes most of December and the *Organization Theory* STS is +binding on 31 Jan. It also keeps the governing principle in view: the dissertation comes first, and +every arm here is a detour from Paper 1 unless it reuses prose already written for the dissertation. + +| Window | Work | +|---|---| +| 27 Oct – 1 Nov | Out-of-scope crunch (FAccT, ALGOCON, *Slacker*, SASE MC09, *Organization Science* methods). In scope, only stage 1: the eight browser verifications, recorded in each `cfp/README.md`. | +| 2 – 8 Nov | Rulings a–h confirmed or overturned in one sitting (working defaults in [`CFP_RULINGS_2026-10-27.md`](CFP_RULINGS_2026-10-27.md)).

If *JITCAR* is a go, its §1–§3. | +| 16 – 30 Nov | Shared cards (Simmel, Burrell, Bovens, Fradkin, Bolton). Rulings f and g confirmed. SPM and CEPE abstracts read aloud. *I&O* Hype PDW sent or dropped. | +| 1 – 15 Dec | CEPE emailed (first week). SPM submitted by 10 Dec. *Organization Science* Agency §2–§4 in the author's prose. OT paper is the main work. | +| 16 – 31 Dec | SASE Network J if MC09 was missed. EGOS short paper drafted. OT paper frozen 31 Dec. *Personnel Psychology* wave 3 closes around mid-December; export the data. | +| 1 – 15 Jan | EURAM condensation (if g is go), submitted 12 Jan. EGOS submitted 15 Jan. *Organization Science* Agency §5–§6. | +| 16 – 31 Jan | *Organization Theory* STS (binding, 31 Jan). *Organization Science* Agency audit and read-aloud, submitted 1 Feb. *ISJ* only if confirmed and the Agency paper is on track; otherwise dropped. | +| Feb | *MISQE* Insight drafted and submitted by 1 Mar. *JMS* cards. *Personnel Psychology* analysis. | +| Mar – Apr | *JMS* drafted, audited, submitted 3 May. | +| May – Jun | *SIJ* drafted from the hospitality library, submitted 30 Jun. | +| Jun – Aug | *Personnel Psychology* drafted, submitted in the 1–27 Aug window. | + +Where the load is too much, drop in this order: *I&O* Hype, *JITCAR*, *ISJ*, EURAM, SPM. Each is +either unverified, lower-tier, or a restatement of the OT paper. Do not drop *Organization Science* +Agency, *JMS* or *Personnel Psychology*; those three are the venues where the construct is worth the +most, and the last one is the only empirical test of the scale. + +## What Claude can run without the author + +Stage 1 verifications need a browser the author controls, so they are the author's. Everything in +stage 3 (carding), the length checks on the five abstracts, and the stage 5 audits are Claude's to +run on request. Drafting full papers follows the OT arm's rule 1: the author writes, Claude +edits, and anything Claude drafts is marked. + +## Records to update when an arm moves + +`CALENDAR.md` (the row and the "Binding?" column), [`README.md`](README.md) (the two tables), +[`../NOW.md`](../NOW.md) (the next-dates table, which stops at 31 Jan today), and the arm's own README +status line. The 26 Oct audit's "Decisions by date" table should gain the rulings f and g dates +(30 Nov) once the author confirms them. + +## Run log + +**27 Oct 2026.** Stages 1 to 3 were run from the cloud session, which the environment's network +policy confines to search-engine snippets: every publisher, conference and repository host is denied. +What landed, all on branch `submissions/cfp-build-plan-2026-10-27`: + +- Stage 1: eleven `cfp/README.md` files carry a dated verification section. Snippet-level findings: + EGOS short papers run about 3,000 words including references and are not blind-reviewed; the + INFORMS page opens the *Organization Science* Agency portal on 1 Nov; the *I&O* Assemblages call + shows 31 Jan 2027 on the journal's own index; AlgorLit's own pages disagree (15 Oct, 15 Nov); + *Personnel Psychology* shows 31 Aug on Wiley against 27 Aug on ANZAM. Length limits for *JITCAR*, + *SIJ*, *ISJ*, *Organization Science* Agency and *Personnel Psychology* still need a browser. +- Stage 2: [`CFP_RULINGS_2026-10-27.md`](CFP_RULINGS_2026-10-27.md) holds a working default for each + of a–h.

Alongside the promises made for generative AI, a second set of promises has grown up around "AI literacy": the claim that people who understand how AI works will be safe, employable and in control. Universities, vendors, consultancies, certification bodies and regulators now produce and mandate AI-literacy programmes. This paper treats that remedy as an object of hype studies. Historians of literacy have shown that print-literacy campaigns promised individual advancement that the social order did not deliver. Recent critics argue that AI-literacy initiatives use literacy uncritically as a metaphor and repeat that promise. We add an organizational argument about the problems the remedy is sold for. Many of them are triadic. A booking platform ranks a hotel on its guests' reviews, a marketplace scores a seller on buyers' ratings, and an AI tool can draft a manager's appraisal of an employee. In each case a system evaluates two people and binds both to its verdict. Knowing how the model works does not tell either party whose input moved the verdict, how a message will be scored, or when the rule changed. A reading remedy for a triadic problem is attractive to its sponsors because it places the deficit in the individual and leaves the arbiter unexamined. We propose a research agenda on the AI-literacy remedy market with four questions. Who produces and certifies the remedy? How do mandates turn it into a compliance obligation?

A booking platform ranks a hotel on its guests' reviews, a marketplace scores a seller on buyers' feedback, and an AI tool can draft the appraisal a manager gives an employee. In each case the system evaluates a relation and binds both parties to its verdict. IS design research has answered algorithmic opacity with explanation, transparency and contestability, and each answer models a single decision subject facing a system. This paper argues that systems which judge two people need different design properties. The parties' problem is not that the model is hidden; machine-learning opacity is intrinsic. Their problem is that they cannot tell whose input moved a verdict, cannot tell how a message to the other party will be scored, and cannot tell when the rule has changed. We derive three design properties from these problems. Provenance cues show which party's input moved a verdict. Dual address shows a sender what the evaluator will register and what the counterpart will see. Change notice logs rule updates and announces them to both parties. We state each property as a testable design proposition. We ground the propositions in published studies of review filters and contestation, and specify outcome measures for each: correct attribution of responsibility, shared interpretation of messages, and detection of rule change. The contribution is a design theory for the human–machine–institution interface in which the machine is a third party, not a tool or a channel. +AI at work increasingly stands between two people.

It can draft a manager's appraisal of an employee, screen candidates for a hiring manager, and summarize one colleague's work for another. In each case the system evaluates a relation between two of the firm's people, and the firm holds two roles at once. As operator, it chooses and configures the system. As principal, it employs one of the parties as its agent. This paper argues that this double position changes what organizations must do about AI-enabled decisions. On platforms, the competence to coordinate through an evaluating system is left to each participant. Inside the firm it cannot be, because the firm controls what each party sees and who can question a verdict. We call this competence algorithmacy. It has three practices: interpreting an ambiguous result, specifying intent so the other party can read it through the system, and tracking model changes. We argue that the post-AI enterprise must allocate each practice to a role. Someone must interpret verdicts for both parties, someone must hold the right to specify intent to the system, and someone must track updates. Drawing on published studies of knowledge brokers who translate algorithmic outputs, and of experts whose authority erodes when AI presents uncertain projections as certain, we propose an allocation framework and four propositions. The framework treats contestability as a role assignment, not only as a system feature. Firms that leave the three practices unallocated will find that internal AI deflects accountability between their people instead of supporting it. +Generative AI now stands between people inside the firm.

On platforms, the answer is increasingly the system's. Its review, rating and ranking record settles what happened, and it displaces older apparatuses of evaluation such as inspection and accreditation. We theorize this as truth by arbitration. The system's record is produced under conditions neither party can inspect. Its rules are withheld, its information asymmetries are designed, and each party shapes its report in anticipation of the other and of the filter. The parties' own accounts carry no comparable authority. Building on research on evaluative apparatuses and algorithmic control, we argue that the only counter-record available to the evaluated parties is the shared understanding they build between themselves outside the system's record. We specify how counter-records are made, kept and asserted, and when platforms admit them. We contribute an account of organizational truth in which authority over facts rests with an arbiter, not with experts or stakeholders. +When a hotel and a guest disagree about a stay, or a seller and a buyer about a sale, whose account becomes the fact?

We contribute an account of organizational truth in which authority over facts rests with an arbiter rather than with experts or stakeholders, and we ask what arbitration does when the parties are already polarized. **Keywords:** algorithmic management; arbitration; evaluation; platforms; shared understanding; truth diff --git a/submissions/jms_organizing_truth_arbiter/FLAGS.md b/submissions/jms_organizing_truth_arbiter/FLAGS.md index 5144d6b4..6ddf741c 100644 --- a/submissions/jms_organizing_truth_arbiter/FLAGS.md +++ b/submissions/jms_organizing_truth_arbiter/FLAGS.md @@ -10,3 +10,4 @@ 6. **Fradkin et al.

The claim is that reciprocity in feedback giving distorts the production and content of reputation information in a market, and the distortion hampers trust and trade efficiency. The method starts from feedback patterns observed on eBay and other platforms and then runs laboratory experiments to test whether reciprocity can be managed by changing the way feedback information flows through the system. The abstract reports that the changed flow produces more accurate reputation information, more trust and more efficient trade, and closes on implications for theory building and for the design of market trust systems. + +What the discussion-paper card adds, and what this card cannot confirm for the article, is the content of those patterns and treatments: a two-sided feedback system in which each side can read the other's rating before posting its own, a "blind" alternative in which neither can, and a one-sided detailed seller rating that only the buyer gives. The 2009 paper reports eBay field percentages for mutual feedback, seller feedback conditional on the buyer's, and the timing of problematic pairs, and laboratory percentages for feedback frequency and realised efficiency under each treatment. Its field section is called "a first look." Which of those numbers survived into the 2013 article, and in what form, is not known from the abstract. Between the 2009 paper and the article there were at least two further versions, a 2010 NBER market-design conference paper and a 25 March 2012 draft on Ockenfels's Cologne site, and the published abstract's summary result, more accurate reputation information, more trust and more efficient trade, is stated more flatly than the 2009 paper's results, where the efficiency gain from the blind treatment was not significant. + +## Relation to the argument + +For `egos2027_st64_rules_of_play`, this is the source for reviews read as compliments: when both sides rate and each can see the other's rating before giving its own, a rating becomes a move in an exchange between the two parties rather than a report to the platform, and the platform's record of the trade is the residue of that exchange. The rule that governs the order of posting is the platform's, and the authors' word for changing it is engineering. The arm can cite the abstract for the claim that reciprocity distorts the record and that a change in information flow repairs it; it should cite the discussion-paper card, labelled as such, for anything more specific. + +For `jms_organizing_truth_arbiter` §3, the abstract supplies the third condition of truth by arbitration, the anticipatory report, in its lab form: a party shapes its report in expectation of the other's, and the platform can remove the expectation by withholding the other's report. The field test of that removal is Fradkin, Grewal and Holtz (2021), carded at `fradkin2021.md`, whose abstract reports that the withheld-reveal rule lowered ratings and did not reduce adverse selection.

The claim, as the abstract fragments give it, is that expectations about science and technology are not predictions to be scored for accuracy but real-time representations of future situations and capabilities that do work in the present. Such expectations are fundamentally generative: they guide activities, provide structure and legitimation, attract interest and foster investment. The abstract sets out expectations as a medium of coordination among actor communities, and names three coordinating directions — horizontal, across communities; vertical, across micro, meso and macro scales; and temporal, as expectations change in response and adaptation to new conditions. Expectations are most intense early in a technology's life, when the vision is very likely to differ from the future that arrives, and citing literature takes from the paper the cycle of hype and disappointment that follows. One citing source quotes the paper on the direction of hype: it is about the future and the new, rarely about the past, which erases continuities. The article is an editorial review rather than an empirical study, and its purpose is to set an agenda for studying how expectations are produced, circulated and made to perform. + +## Relation to the argument + +Arm: `io_hype_ai_literacy`. The arm's claim is that hype attaches to remedies as well as to technologies, and that AI literacy is a remedy sold on a promise — understand how AI works and you will be safe, employable and in control. Borup and colleagues supply the theory that makes that a hype-studies claim and not a complaint. The promise of AI literacy is an expectation in their sense: it is generative, because it guides what universities, vendors and certification bodies do; it legitimates, because a mandated curriculum is a visible response to a risk; it attracts investment, because a remedy market needs buyers. The three coordinating directions map onto the arm's four producers. Vertically the expectation runs from a UNESCO or OECD framework down to a course syllabus; horizontally it aligns vendors, universities and regulators who otherwise disagree; temporally it has already begun to adapt, from "learn to code" to "learn to prompt" to "learn how the model works". + +The arm's sharper point is one the paper's framework permits but does not make. An expectation about a remedy locates a deficit. If the promise is that the person who understands AI will be in control, then the person who is not in control lacked understanding, and the arbiter that evaluated them is out of the frame. The paper's own observation that hype is about the future and the new and rarely about the past is the handle: the AI-literacy promise is about the worker's future competence and never about the platform's present rule. Van Lente is a guest editor of the target issue, and the arm should cite this paper as the field's founding statement and then extend it, in the arm's words, to the remedy market. + +## Caution + +Abstract only, in fragments. I did not see the abstract whole, so the three coordinating directions and the "fundamentally generative" wording are as search excerpts rendered them, and the hype-and-disappointment cycle is taken from citing literature rather than from the article.

Their definition, as citing literature reproduces it, calls agency a temporally embedded process of social engagement, informed by the past in its habitual aspect, oriented toward the future as a capacity to imagine alternatives, and oriented toward the present as a capacity to contextualise past habits and future projects within the contingencies of the moment. Secondary sources place a fuller version at p. 970: human agency is the temporally constructed engagement by actors of different structural environments — the temporal-relational contexts of action — which, through the interplay of habit, imagination and judgment, both reproduces and transforms those structures in interactive response to the problems posed by changing historical situations. I have not checked that wording or that page against the article. + +The three orientations are named the iterational, the projective and the practical-evaluative elements, and the authors call the whole the chordal triad of agency. As citing sources render them, the iterational element is the past-oriented, habitual aspect of agency, the reactivation of past patterns of thought and action; the projective element is the future-oriented capacity to imagine alternatives to present arrangements; and the practical-evaluative element is the present-oriented capacity to contextualise past habits and future projects within the contingencies of the moment, through practical and normative judgment. The authors insist these are analytical distinctions: all three are present in varying degrees within any concrete instance of action, and the degree to which each contributes varies with the actor's situation. One citing reading objects that the article nonetheless ties each temporal orientation to a type of agency in practice. The article's sources, as citing literature lists them, are the pragmatists (Mead's philosophy of the act is in the reference list) and Schutz; the authors describe their own method as a relational pragmatics. + +## Relation to the argument + +Arm: `orgsci_agency_triad`. The arm's P2 says a co-opted person's agency has two parts that vary independently, competence and standing, and its conclusion says organization theory should locate agency in the triad as the joint product of the two. Emirbayer and Mische supply the vocabulary that makes competence a part of agency rather than a substitute for it. Competence, as the arm defines it — interpreting the system's verdicts, addressing the other party through it, noticing when it changes — is the practical-evaluative element at work under an opaque, adaptive intermediary: judgment among possible actions in response to emerging demands and ambiguities. The iterational element names what the worker brings from before the platform, and the projective element names the capacity to imagine a different verdict or a different counterpart. None of the three, however, names standing. The chordal triad is a theory of the actor's orientations toward a structural environment; it has no term for a recognised right to contest a verdict before someone obliged to answer. That gap is the arm's opening: the triad describes competence exhaustively and standing not at all, which is why the arm pairs this paper with Bovens and Pettit rather than reading standing out of it. + +A second use is defensive. Reviewers at *Organization Science* will ask whether "agency" in the paper means anything beyond doing things, and this paper is the field's standard answer. The arm should take the temporal definition and say that the platform's adaptivity attacks the iterational element directly, because a rule that changes without notice makes past patterns unreliable guides. + +## Caution + +This is a reconstruction. The article was not opened, and the quotations and page numbers above are reported by citing literature whose accuracy I could not test; the p. 970 definition in particular circulates in several slightly different wordings.

In the control group a review was revealed as soon as it was submitted, so the second party could read the first party's review before writing its own. In the treatment group feedback was hidden until both parties had submitted a review. The abstract reports three results. The treatment stimulated more reviewing in total, which the authors attribute to curiosity about what the counterparty wrote and/or to the wish to have one's own feedback visible to other users. It reduced retaliation and reciprocation in feedback, and ratings fell as a result. The effects on feedback did not translate into reduced adverse selection on the platform. + +The abstract calls the mechanism hiding feedback until both parties have submitted. It does not, in the text I reached, use the phrase "simultaneous reveal," which is the platform's and the trade press's name for the policy; the paper's own title word is "unveiling." The number of listings, hosts or guests in the experiment, the size of the rating decline, and the measure of adverse selection are in the body of the paper and were not read. + +## Relation to the argument + +For `jms_organizing_truth_arbiter` §5, this is the field evidence that the arbiter's record is produced under rules the arbiter can change and that the parties' reports change with them. When each party can read the other's verdict before writing its own, the record carries reciprocation and retaliation; when the platform withholds both verdicts until both exist, the record carries fewer of either and the ratings go down. The second rule removes a channel through which each party could anticipate the other, which is the "anticipatory report" condition in §3, and the abstract's last sentence is the limit of the counter-measure: the record became less reciprocal without the market becoming better sorted. The paper therefore supports simultaneous reveal as a change to the record, not as a repair of what the record is for. + +For `sij_service_triad_ethics` §4, the "reciprocal reveal" mechanism should be named and described from this abstract: the verdict is returned to both parties at the same moment, and the price of that return is a lower average rating and no measured gain in sorting. The arm's claim that this mechanism returns the verdict to both parties at once is consistent with the design; the arm should not add that it makes the verdict more accurate, because the abstract says the opposite about adverse selection. + +The triad is exact: host, guest and a platform that holds both reviews and decides when each may be read. The counterpart's review is the only thing in the experiment that the platform changes, and the rule change is made by the platform alone. + +## Caution + +Abstract only.

In embodiment relations the technology is taken into the body and the world is experienced through it, as with eyeglasses or a telephone; Verbeek writes the form as (human – technology) → world. In hermeneutic relations the technology represents the world and the human reads the representation, as with a map, a thermometer or an MRI; the form is human → (technology – world). In alterity relations the technology is faced as a quasi-other, something stronger than an object and weaker than an animal or a person — computers, automata, a film seen from a certain angle (citing sources give pp. 98 and 101–102); the form is human → technology (world). Background relations are the technologies that shape experience without being attended to, heating and refrigeration, which one citing source quotes Ihde calling a present absence (p. 109); the form is human (technology / world). Ihde describes the first three as points on a spectrum from which the fourth stands apart. Each relation carries a structure of amplification and reduction: the technology magnifies some aspects of the world and diminishes others. The second program, cultural hermeneutics, adds multistability, the claim that one artifact stabilises into different uses and meanings in different contexts, and the book as a whole asks for a double-sided analysis pairing microperception with cultural hermeneutics (p. 30, per one citing source). + +## Relation to the argument + +Arm: `spm2027_lived_arbiter`. An SPM audience will expect the talk to say which of Ihde's relations the platform's evaluating algorithm is. The answer the arm should give is that it is none of the four, and the reason is structural. Every Ihde relation has one human and a world, and the technology sits between them in one of four positions. The lived arbiter has two humans. The host writes to the guest and the algorithm reads both; the relation the host stands in is not to a world through a technology but to another person through a judge. The hermeneutic relation is the nearest, because the host does read the platform's representation (a rank, a badge, a visibility drop) to learn how the world stands, but in Ihde's hermeneutic relation the instrument reads the world and the world does not read back, whereas the platform reads the host while the host reads it. The alterity relation is the tempting wrong answer. Jhaver et al.'s hosts speak of the algorithm as a presence they negotiate with, which sounds like a quasi-other, but the hosts are not coordinating with the algorithm; they are coordinating with the guest and being heard by the algorithm, and a quasi-other is faced, not written for. The background relation fits the algorithm's invisibility but not its judgment: a present absence that heats the room does not rank you. Embodiment does not apply. + +What the arm can take from Ihde is the method. The doubled address the arm describes — speaking to the other person while being heard by the arbiter — is a microperceptual structure of the kind Program One isolates, and the talk can present it as a fifth relation that the four cannot compose: human → (technology → other human), where the technology's reading of the first human is part of what the second human receives. Amplification and reduction carry over: the arbiter amplifies whatever its rule rewards and reduces the rest of what the host says to the guest. Multistability carries over in a form Ihde did not consider, because the same evaluating technology stabilises differently for the two parties it evaluates at the same moment. + +## Caution + +The book is unread; the notations are Verbeek's transcription and the page numbers are secondary. I could not check whether chapters 5–6 discuss the telephone or any two-person case, so the claim that no Ihde relation has two humans rests on how the field summarises the typology, not on the text. The "fifth relation" is the arm's proposal and should be presented as one.

Murray, Rhymer and Sirmon call that shared agency conjoined agency and, as a citing paper quotes them, define it as the shared capacity between humans and nonhumans to exercise intentionality (reported at p. 555; not checked). The locus of agency is split along two components of a routine: protocol development, which sets the guidelines for how the routine is to be carried out, and action selection, which is the choosing of what to do within it. Each component can rest with the human or with the technology, and the two-by-two yields four forms. With assisting technologies the human holds both protocol development and action selection and the technology is a tool. With arresting technologies the technology holds action selection, so it constrains what the human can do in the moment. With augmenting technologies the technology holds protocol development, so it shapes the rules before the human acts. With automating technologies the technology holds both. The authors acknowledge a Deloitte Insights report for the terms assisting, augmenting and automating, and say they coined arresting themselves. + +The dependent variable is the routine. The paper theorises how each form affects a routine's change at a particular moment and the routine's responsiveness to feedback over time, and citing literature reports that automating technologies in particular let routines adapt and evolve from the data they process with little human intervention. Later work finds the arresting category hard to locate in practice for AI. + +On accountability the record is empty. Three targeted searches for responsibility, accountability, blame or attribution in connection with the paper returned nothing from the paper itself; the one hit was a service-design paper's own observation that hybrid human–AI systems leave no single actor in full control.

I cannot tell which from here. + +## Relation to the argument + +Arm: `orgsci_agency_triad`. Murray is a guest editor of the special issue, and the paper is the AMR statement of the human–technology dyad the arm wants to open into a triad. Its two-by-two has exactly one human and one technology, and the routine it modulates belongs to the organization that deploys the technology. The arm's case has three parties and the technology evaluates two of them, neither of whom owns the routine. Read against the four forms, an evaluating platform is arresting for the worker and the counterpart at once — it selects which actions are allowed to count — and augmenting for the operator, whose protocol it writes. That one technology sits in two cells for different parties is the arm's point, and it is a point the paper's own grid can be used to make: conjoined agency is defined per human–technology pair, so a triad produces two conjoined agencies that are not the same and may not be reconcilable. + +The accountability silence, if it is real, is the second use. The arm says that when the operator acts through the agency of the parties it evaluates, accountability is distributed, deflected and denied. A conjoined-agency framework that assigns intentionality to the technology without assigning anyone the obligation to answer for it is the theoretical form of that denial.

I did not read any of those PDFs. +**Source-tier:** book +**Evidence basis:** citing_literature +**Cluster:** agency-standing + +## What it argues + +Pettit's claim is that freedom is non-domination rather than non-interference. A person is free to the extent that no other person or group holds arbitrary, uncontrolled power over them, whether or not that power is used. Secondary sources give the book's definition of domination, at p. 52, in three clauses: someone dominates another to the extent that they have the capacity to interfere, on an arbitrary basis, in certain choices the other is in a position to make. The capacity is what matters. The slave of a kindly master is unfree because the master could interfere at will, and whether he does is, in Lovett's words, neither here nor there; Pettit's own treatment of the benevolent master is reported at pp. 73–74. Consent is no defence: Lindblom quotes Pettit (p. 62) to the effect that a relationship consensual in origin still dominates if it gives one party the effective capacity to interfere more or less arbitrarily in the other's choices. What makes interference arbitrary is the contested term. O'Shea (as the Berthon card reports him) calls "arbitrary" the most slippery word in the account and notes that Pettit later preferred exposure to another's power of uncontrolled interference; Lovett's procedural reading, as the SEP entry gives it, says power is arbitrary to the extent that it is not reliably constrained by effective rules, procedures or goals that are common knowledge to all concerned. + +The institutional half of the book follows from the definition. If freedom is non-domination, the state's job is to make power non-arbitrary, and Lovett reports Pettit (pp. 186–187) requiring that decision-makers give reasons, that contestation be open to all on equal terms, and that there be impartial courts of appeal. Contestatory democracy, not consent, is what makes public power track the interests of the governed. + +## Relation to the argument + +Arm: `orgsci_agency_triad`. Standing, in the arm's P2, is a recognised right to contest a verdict before someone obliged to answer. Pettit supplies the normative ground for calling its absence a loss of agency and not merely an inconvenience. A platform that can re-rank, demote or suspend a worker at will, on a rule the worker cannot see and cannot contest, holds the capacity to interfere on an arbitrary basis in choices the worker is in a position to make; by the p. 52 definition that is domination, and by the p. 62 passage the worker's having agreed to the terms does not change it. The kindly-master case is the one the arm needs against the reply that most platforms treat most workers well: a platform that rarely interferes still dominates if nothing forces its interference to track the worker's interests. Standing, on this reading, is non-domination at the scale of a single verdict, and the three requirements at pp. 186–187 — reasons, equal openness to contest, an impartial forum — are a checklist the arm can set against any platform's appeal process. Competence without standing is Pettit's slave with a good map of the master's moods. + +The arm must keep the scale right. Pettit's subject is the state, and the lab's `exetasis_sovereignty` arm owns democratic sovereignty; this arm stays at the organizational level and uses non-domination to characterise one relation, the evaluated party's relation to the evaluator. + +## Caution + +The book was not opened. Every page number above (52, 62, 73–74, 186–187) was read in a secondary source or in a lab card that read a secondary source, and the Berthon card records that two of its secondary sources cite the p. 52 definition from "Pettit 1997b" and "1999: 52" respectively, so the edition behind the page is not settled.

The deployment effect is the gain: better data analytics may improve the feedback and so raise productivity. The disclosure effect is the loss: an employee who learns that the feedback came from an AI may view it negatively, and productivity may fall. The two effects are confounded whenever a firm introduces AI feedback and says so, and the paper's design unconfounds them in a field experiment that randomises, separately, whether the feedback an employee receives is generated by an AI system or by a human manager and whether the employee is told who the provider is. The research summary reports that both effects coexist and that the adverse disclosure effect is mitigated by the employee's tenure in the firm. As suggestive evidence from mediation analyses, disclosure lowers the employee's trust in the quality of the feedback and raises concern about being displaced by the technology, and both harm learning and performance. The managerial summary, as relayed, proposes a tiered use: AI feedback for veterans, human managers for novices. + +Search-engine summaries attach a headline performance gain, a sample size and the firm's sector to this paper. None of those figures was read in the source and none is recorded here. + +## Relation to the argument + +For `jitcar_post_ai_enterprise`, this is the empirical anchor for AI performance feedback inside the firm. The design is the point: the firm can deploy the evaluating system and separately decide whether the evaluated person is told, and the two decisions have opposite signs. That is a dyad, worker and system, with the firm holding the disclosure rule, and it shows that what the worker knows about the evaluator changes what the evaluation does. The tenure moderation is the arm's bridge to algorithmacy. A longer-tenured employee has more to read the feedback against, more experience of the job's own standards and of the firm's prior feedback, and the disclosure effect weakens with that experience. The arm can state this as the paper's finding and can say, as its own claim, that experience here is doing the work that a competence for reading an opaque evaluator would do. It should not say the paper measures such a competence; it measures tenure. + +The limit for the triad is the one the OT hostile review already named: the study is a dyad. There is no counterpart whom the employee must coordinate with through the system, so the paper shows the evaluator's opacity mattering to one person and shows nothing about the second person.

The abstract does not state the lessons and no citing source I reached reproduces them. Van Lente's research page describes his standing concern as the performativity of expectations and promises and places foresight and scenario planning among the sites where expectations are produced, which is the paper's framing: a foresight exercise is not a view from outside the sea of expectations but one more vessel on it. One citing summary attributes to the paper the warning that foresight exercises tend to reproduce prevailing narratives rather than create new insight, risking lock-in to existing pathways, and that bringing in diverse stakeholders helps only partly because new coalitions can reflect existing power.

Van Lente is a guest editor of the target special issue, and this paper is his own application of the 2006 framework to a practice that claims to stand above expectations. The arm can use it as a template, because AI literacy makes the same claim about itself that foresight does: it presents itself as the sober corrective to hype rather than as a product of it. The paper's move — treat the corrective as one more expectation and ask what it performs — is the arm's move with the object changed. If the lessons, once read, say what the citing summary says they say, the arm gains a second point: a remedy that reproduces the prevailing narrative locks in the pathway, and the prevailing narrative about AI at work is that the deficit is in the person. The arm's conclusion, that hype around AI literacy is organizationally useful because it leaves the arbiter unexamined, is a lock-in claim of that kind. + +## Caution + +Abstract only.

The book opens by faulting the classical philosophy of technology of Jaspers and Heidegger for treating technology as an alienating whole, moves through Ihde's postphenomenology and Latour's actor-network theory, and ends with Borgmann's device paradigm and a chapter on design. The middle of the book sets out technological mediation on two sides. On the hermeneutic side artifacts transform perception and interpretive frameworks, with a structure of amplification and reduction: some ways of seeing the world are strengthened and others weakened. On the existential or pragmatic side artifacts shape action, with a structure of invitation and inhibition: artifacts translate programs of action, inviting some conduct and discouraging the rest (secondary sources locate this at pp. 155–156). Verbeek's placement of Latour, as Redaelli quotes it, credits him with showing that technologies co-shape interactions (p. 103) but faults him for describing from the standpoint of an outside analyst rather than from a situated human, and offers postphenomenology as the view from inside out (p. 168); humans and things are to be distinguished but not separated (pp. 166–168, per Verbeek 2014). Feenberg's review calls the result an important contribution that keeps the existential concerns of the classical tradition while taking the co-construction thesis from technology studies. + +Verbeek (2011), *Moralizing technology: Understanding and designing the morality of things* (University of Chicago Press), extends the mediation thesis to morality: because technologies mediate perception and action, they mediate moral decisions, and people are technologically mediated moral agents; the book's cases run from obstetric ultrasound, which makes the fetus a patient and the womb a site of decision, to persuasive and ambient technologies. The lab holds a snippet-level card for it at `algorithmacy_design_ethics/literature/library/verbeek2011.md`, which records page-located passages on force, persuasion and seduction as forms of behaviour-steering mediation (p. 126 there) and on persuasive technology as composite intentionality (p. 148 there). I did not reach either book this session. + +## Relation to the argument + +Arm: `spm2027_lived_arbiter`. Verbeek gives the SPM talk the word it needs, mediation, and the two-sided structure that lets the arm say what the arbiter does. On the hermeneutic side the platform amplifies the guest's rating and the host's response time and reduces everything else the host said; on the pragmatic side it invites the host to write for the filter and inhibits the sentence that would cost a star. Eslami et al.'s reviewers who learn of the filter and begin to write for it are a case of invitation in Verbeek's sense. The talk can present the lived arbiter as mediation of a kind Verbeek's two sides do not jointly describe, because both sides run between one human and a world, while here the mediated object is another person's speech and the mediation is itself an evaluation that binds both speakers. + +The methodological point matters for an SPM audience. Verbeek's objection to Latour is that the outside analyst's description misses how access to reality is co-shaped from inside; the arm is on Verbeek's side of that line, because its evidence is how hosts and reviewers report the arbiter, and it should say so. *Moralizing technology* supplies the moral vocabulary if the talk wants it: an arbiter that nobody chose and nobody can see is a mediator of moral decisions whose designers did not accompany it, in Verbeek's sense, into the host's room. + +## Caution + +Unread. The hermeneutic/pragmatic distinction and the amplification–reduction and invitation–inhibition pairs come from Feenberg's review and secondary summaries, not from the book's own sentences; the pp. 103, 155–156 and 166–168 locators are second-hand.

Platforms and AI-mediated workplaces answer by co-optation. A booking platform ranks a hotel on guests' reviews, a marketplace demotes a seller on buyers' ratings, and an AI tool can draft the appraisal a manager gives an employee. In each case the operator benefits from the parties' agency without treating them as its agents, and accountability is distributed, deflected and denied. Recent theory treats AI not as an agent but as a capability of a system of relations among people and algorithms. We ask what agency remains to the people inside such a system. We argue that the co-opted person's agency has two components that vary independently. Competence is the practical ability to interpret a verdict, to address the other party through the system, and to notice when the system's rule changes. Standing is a recognized right to contest a verdict before someone obliged to answer. The two combine into four positions. With both, agency is effective. With competence alone, the person becomes a moral crumple zone, absorbing blame for verdicts they can read but cannot contest. With standing alone, rights go unused. With neither, the person is simply managed. We develop propositions about how organizations distribute competence and standing among the parties they evaluate, why operators prefer to supply competence (training) over standing (contest), and how asymmetric distributions between the two parties shape whom the system blames. The account relocates agency from the person or the machine to the configuration of competence and standing in the triad. +When an AI system evaluates two people and binds both to its verdict, who acts? Platforms and AI-mediated workplaces answer by co-optation. A booking platform ranks a hotel on guests' reviews, a marketplace demotes a seller on buyers' ratings, and an AI tool can draft the appraisal a manager gives an employee. In each case the operator benefits from the parties' agency without treating them as its agents, and accountability is distributed, deflected and denied. Recent theory treats AI not as an agent but as a capability of a system of relations among people and algorithms. We ask what agency remains to the people inside such a system. We argue that the co-opted person's agency has two components that vary independently. Competence is the practical ability to interpret a verdict, to address the other party through the system, and to notice when the system's rule changes.

On booking and home-sharing platforms, and increasingly inside hotels, an evaluating system now occupies the third corner. It turns guests' judgements into verdicts on staff, hosts and properties, and it sets the rules under which guests and hosts meet. This paper asks where accountability breaks in that arrangement and which mechanisms can restore it. Drawing on published studies of hotel reviews, home-sharing hosts, discrimination in guest acceptance and portability of reputation, we identify four break points. Score aggregation hides how much of a verdict each party produced. Access rules set by the intermediary sort guests before any service begins. Ratings do not travel between platforms, so a poor verdict cannot be escaped. Oversight assigned to frontline staff who cannot override the system leaves them absorbing responsibility without control. We then compare four restoring mechanisms by the party to which each returns the verdict. Appeals return it to the evaluated worker or property. Reciprocal reveal returns it to both parties at once. Managerial adjustment returns it to the firm. Guest-visible attribution returns it to the customer. The resulting framework tells service managers and regulators which mechanism fits which break. It also shows why transparency alone, which returns the verdict to no one, does not restore accountability in the service triad. +Service work has always involved three parties: the worker, the customer and the firm.
