Abstract
As the result of a tremendous cross-disciplinary effort, the past 20 years have witnessed huge advances in our understanding of the brain and of the brain's relationship to the mind. A new paradigm of the mind—an ecological paradigm, as Gregory Bateson called it in 1973—has fallen into place. The authors have begun to have a scientific, biologically grounded explanation of how the human brain–mind system works. Despite the likely relevance of this paradigm for psychotherapy, its uptake in the clinical literature has been uneven to date. Accordingly, this article aims to pique the interest of the psychotherapeutic community in the ecological paradigm as a whole, in hopes of stimulating wider discussion and research into its clinical aspects and consequences.

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
