Abstract
Care is a political and ethical everyday practice with nested processes and relationships. In more-than-human design, care is a practice that allows a deep engagement with time and temporality. Existing terms such as caring for and about fall short in accounting for this engagement by not bringing to the fore the diverse temporal frames embedded in care relations and the fluidity of agency between caregiver and receiver roles. This paper provides a typology informed by different kinds of care based on engagement with time and labor, such as caring for, about, and through. Specifically, we contribute caring through as a concept emphasizing the role of more-than-human temporality in care practice. Caring through accounts for plural engagements with time, the interdependence between caregiver and care receiver, and mediated aspects of care where care becomes making time for the other.

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
