Abstract
Jackson (1992) demonstrates that most dictionaries define curriculum as a “course of study.” However, he also includes the interpretations; “a race course,” “running,” and “the chariot used in races.” Using a critical interpretive practice of genealogy to organize discourses, Roy first characterizes learning as a yearly “race” around a track where learners pick up a “course of study.” Then, using Pinar’s (1975) method of currere to correspond with “running,” the author shifts from the “race course” to the “runner” (or the learner) and address the learner’s past, desired future, and present context. Finally, drawing upon a “chariot” analogy taken from The Upanishads of Indian Vedantic literature, she probes further into the realm of cognition and provides a philosophy, based on the yoga of selfless action, to inform the runner and the course of study. The paper ends with a bid for a curriculum of selflessness.

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
