Abstract
Still in its organizational infancy, the National Association of Social Workers' working definition was a groundbreaking contribution to the evolution of social work in the 20th century. As a forerunner to Bartlett's common base of social work, the profession was defined by the following five core components: value, purpose, sanction, knowledge, and method. Transforming the definition to 21 st-century relevancy is the subject of this article. Ontological and practice issues are discussed in relation to transformational underpinnings that would evolve social work from its mechanistic and entity-centered roots associated with pre-20th-century science to the organic and relationship-centered discoveries of 20th-century science. An organizing framework is proposed that will transform the common base of social work to a new common whole of social work.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
