Abstract
This article returns to the centrality of craft-making as a push to consider ontological antidualisms and further considerations for materials, humans, nonhuman, and more-than-human bodies. The research seeks answers to the question: (where) is theory enacted when human actors craft? Part of the answer to this question resides, as exemplified in this paper, in recent methodological innovations that emphasise affective snapshots of mattering through cartography. Building on a one-year study with seasoned teachers taking a graduate studies course on maker literacies in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the author presents alternative methodologies for inquiry in maker research, speaking to relational mattering. Insights into antidualisms, and breaking with binary thinking, are explored throughout this inquiry.

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
