Abstract
In spite of its considerable intuitive appeal, an activity oriented perspective for model development has largely been ignored in the modeling and simulation community. Recently, however, the naturalness of the activity perspective provided the basis for the development, by the authors, of a comprehensive, flexible but descriptive conceptual modeling environment; namely, the ABCmod framework (ABCmod = Activity Based Conceptual modeling) [1, 2, 4]. A new world view called the Activity-Object World View has emerged from this previous work which facilitates the transformation of an ABCmod conceptual model into a simulation model. The key feature of this world view is that the activity is treated as an object in an object-oriented (OO) programming paradigm. The ABSmod/J package (ABSmod = Activity Based Simulation Modeling with Java) has been developed to create simulation models based on this world view and its features are outlined in this paper. Unlike traditional world views, the approach does not extract, and separately manage, the underlying events but rather retains their existence as integral parts of activity objects.

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
