Abstract
It is well recognized in cognitive science that people differ in their language abilities, where even those who appear to behave similarly can reach the same outcome via different strategies and neural correlates. At the same time, recent discoveries have emphasized the mediating role of interactional contexts in shaping language experience and their effects on language performance. This chapter adds to this work by illustrating how variability in language use, processing, and experience reveals fundamental insights into the evolutionary and ecological forces that shape dynamic and adaptive changes in language and control networks. To do so, the system property of de-generacy is presented as a valuable explanatory tool to conceptualize a key organizing principle of complex adaptive systems and to offer new understanding of behavioral and neurocognitive variability in language learning and processing in monolingual and bilingual speakers.

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
