Abstract
Islands of Agreement: Managing Enduring Armed Rivalries. By Gabriella Blum. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2007. 355p. $49.95. Gabriella Blum's book is built on the assertion that some conflicts cannot be resolved. She argues that since some conflicts will always be inescapable, the academic approach should move away from conflict prevention and resolution to the broader and more accurate notion of conflict “management.” Blum argues that considering conflicts as one whole phenomenon, or as a total relationship, leads scholars to search for one big (and often simplistic) solution for their resolution. She maintains that interstate relations are multidimensional and that conflicts should be seen as only one aspect of interstate relations. She asserts that “by concentrating our efforts … on conflict resolution only, we often neglect the potential of reinforcing those elements that fall outside the conflict yet inside the relationship” (p. 5).

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
