Abstract
their distinctive ways...Lampedusa and Malraux confirm the dual attitude toward the nation articulated so forcefully on the eve of World War II in W.H. Auden’s elegy to William Butler Yeats, himself no stranger to the peaks and craters of national feeling: “And the living nations wait, / Each sequestered in its hate” (243). “Living” nationality can be a vital and healthy affirmation of human sociability; but “sequestered in...hate” it can cut people off from each other, even poison the very sources of fellow feeling. In the last analysis, however, even as Malraux’s and Lampedusa’s novels dramatize this sharp duality by highlighting special borderline situations in the European system of nation-states, they suggest affinities between these “inner edges” of Europe and its imperial “outer edge.” They thus serve to promote dialogue between comparative literature in a traditionally Eurocentric guise and the wider world of postcolonial studies.

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
