Abstract
This article traces a fractal path through educational psychology and philosophy in an attempt to elucidate an arborescent perspective of complementary inter-disciplinary sources of inspiration for a project-based translation pedagogy. Starting with a social-constructivist, project-based approach proposed at the turn of the millennium, an attempt is made to paint a broader picture of the synergistic influences underlying an emerging “holistic-experiential” approach to translator education. Post modernism, enactive cognitive science, complexity theory, transformational educational theory and social-constructivist epistemology are some of the complementary roots that can be seen as potential sources of inspiration to nourish a learning-centered approach to developing translator expertise in institutional settings.

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
