Abstract
The idea of transitions in early childhood education practice rests on a conceptualization of time that is characteristic of western thought: time as spatialized by having been divided into discrete units. This article explores the space-time dimension in relation to transitions. Drawing on Deleuzian-inspired writings on duration, time as intensive, and bodies and affects, the article engages with the following questions: Are there ways to rethink the idea that a child ‘has trouble with transitions’ ? What do we take for granted as we focus on children's difficulties in transitioning? What are we overlooking when we only pay attention to how children move through activities? How might we direct our attention to what deeply affects children instead of looking only at the shift from one activity to the next? And, perhaps most importantly, what else might be going on in the very moment of a transition? Using an ordinary event from an early childhood classroom as an example, the article argues that too much focus on how children transition from one activity to the next keeps us from exploring the idea of transitions in relation to the intensities children experience and how their experiences endure.

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.
