Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines Confucius’ ideas of moral peace ( an 安) and moral pleasure ( le 樂) in the Analects. It argues that an and le are two correlated aspects of a self-cultivated state of being ( jing-jie 境界) that is grounded on practising benevolence or human-heartedness ( ren 仁) and on following the Way ( dao 道). The state of an-le involves not only one's reason (i.e., knowing ren and dao ) and one's will (i.e., willing ren and dao ), but also one's love or ‘emotional liking’ ( hào 好) with respect to the practice of ren and dao . It is a state that resembles Kant's idea of intellectual contentment but, pace Philip Ivanhoe's recent interpretation of Confucius, it is different from Aristotle's concepts of pleasure and eudaimonia .

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
