In this paper we extend the computation of the the typical curves of algebraic K-theory done by Lars Hesselholt and Ib Madsen to general tensor algebras. The models used allow us to determine the stages of the Taylor tower of algebraic K-theory as a functor of augmented algebras, as defined by Tom Goodwillie, when evaluated on derived tensor algebras. For R a discrete ring, and M a simplicial R-bimodule, we let T R .M / denote the (derived) tensor algebra of M over R, and T R .M / denote the ring of formal (derived) power series in M over R. We define a natural transformation of functors of simplicial R-bimodulesˆW † Q
