Abstract
More than a quarter of a century after Morocco and Polisario began their war over who owns the former colony of Spanish (Western) Sahara, efforts to organize the referendum on self-determination, which everyone agrees should be held, seem to have reached a dead end. Morocco, the United Nations, the United States and France are now pushing for the territory's self-rule under Moroccan sovereignty, an option rejected outright by Polisario and its patron, Algeria. Ingenuity and a greater involvement of other countries will probably be needed to solve the dispute. Perhaps some kind of trusteeship is possible, involving the permanent members of the Security Council keeping the peace while trying to persuade the combatants to outline a plan for a genuine autonomy that is more than just window-dressing aimed at securing international acceptance of Moroccan sovereignty over the territory. Europe, NATO or other groups of countries could also help stabilize the region. Whatever happens, more countries need to work on and think about how to solve the conflict beyond holding a referendum whose results cannot be applied or accepting an imposed autonomy that seems equally impossible to implement in view of the regional balance of power and Morocco's categorical rejection of partition.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
