Abstract
This chapter is a philosophical discussion about the unexpected psychological developments that occur in apes when they grow up with meaningful others, who happen to be humans. Since these apes are psychologically transformed by their everyday relations with humans, it appears that ways of living and forming relationships with each other have psychological significance and consequences, and should not be treated merely as circumstantial evidence of hidden mental architecture. It is that human-enculturated apes, such as Kanzi, challenge traditional philosophy and its scientific continuation in comparative psychology. Doing psychological research with human-enculturated apes implies that Home/Lab duality characterizes also the human. The notion of 'Home' as a place where human/animal relationships develop and change the participants can be discerned in many forms of human-animal studies (HAS) -transformed research. Keywords:comparative psychology; Home/Lab duality; human-animal studies (HAS); human-enculturated apes; Kanzi

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
