Abstract
This is an exciting collective milestone. As recently as two or three decades ago, it was something of an event to discover an essay on Japanese philosophy, in Philosophy East and West or any other major philosophical journal. Now, with the publication of five new volumes (stemming from symposia and workshops in Nagoya, Hong Kong, Berlin, and Montreal) by the Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture, seventy-three essays have appeared, more or less all at once. These essays are mostly in English, although several are written in French, German, Italian, and Spanish. In the first volume by itself, Japanese Philosophy Abroad, several writers provide an account of Japanese philosophy from French, Spanish, Italian, German, Chinese, and English speaking regions of the world. As with all conference gatherings, the quality of the essays varies somewhat, although, in general, they are of remarkably high caliber. Even a cursory glance at the scope of these volumes reveals chapters dealing with central Kyoto School figures, including Kitaro, Tanabe Hajime, Kuki Shuzo, Watsuji Tetsuro, Nishitani Keiji, and Ueda Shizuteru. Other chapters provide background to the Kyoto School philosophers: Dogen, Motoori Norinaga, Nishi Amane, Takizawa Katsumi, and the late Yasuo. In order to give some impres sion of the nature of the essays included, it might prove helpful to list a few of them by title: The Idea of the Mirror in and (Michael Dalissier), Getting back to Premodern Japan: Tanabe's Reading of Dogen (Ralf Muller), Yuasa Yasuo's Theory of the Body (Britta Boutry-Stadelmann), Nishida Kitaro as Philosopher of Science (Noe Keiichi), The Human and the Absolute in the Writings of Kuki Shuzo (Saito Takako), Transcendence of the State in Watsuji's Ethics (Bernard Bernier),

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.
