E.10.LRN:5 - Worked Slices

E.10.LRN:5.1 - Taught to swim and learned to swim

“A coach taught Lee to swim” opens a teaching-Work claim. Recover coach and Lee as Systems, the dated coaching and practice Work, enacted Method, conditions, and intended result. “Lee learned to swim” opens a holder-capability claim. Recover target swimming Work, support conditions, observed performance, transfer conditions, and evidence. The second sentence does not identify the causal route; the first does not prove the second. A later causal question uses C.28.

E.10.LRN:5.2 - GAN training

A GAN training run is optimization Work over generator and discriminator parameters under a declared objective and data basis. The run, trained model editions, generated samples, benchmark results, and a deployed system’s capability are separate. Calling all five “what the network learned” loses the decision-relevant boundaries.

E.10.LRN:5.3 - Variational inference

A variational-inference procedure selects an approximate distribution from a declared family by optimizing a divergence or bound against a target probabilistic model. It returns an inferential approximation and diagnostics. It does not establish capability acquisition.

E.10.LRN:5.4 - Active learning

An active-learning policy chooses a query or observation because its expected result may improve a model or decision. Recover the current model state, acquisition option, expected information or decision value, cost, returned observation, update, and next decision separately. The data-acquisition choice is closer to inquiry or mining in this branch than to a claim that a holder acquired a capability.

E.10.LRN:5.5 - Public construction

A participant builds and explains a working pump simulation. The artifact and explanation make some model choices inspectable. Assessment Work may use them as evidence for bounded claims. Independent diagnosis of a changed pump configuration is a different representative task; only direct evidence from that task can support the corresponding transfer or capability claim.

E.10.LRN:5.6 - Organizational learning

An organization publishes a “lessons learned” report. Publication establishes an available episteme, not changed enacted practice. Recover later Method changes, assignments, Work occurrences, selection, retention, and operating consequences before claiming organizational or cultural change.
