Abstract
T. V. Paul observes in this volume's introduction that regional transformation – the conditions under which some geographically delimited regions are more likely to evolve toward greater cooperation and peaceful relations among their constituent states, while other regions remain trapped or degenerate into enduring rivalries and endemic interstate and intrastate war – is "of the utmost importance for crafting appropriate policy initiatives." He defines a region as "a cluster of states that are proximate to each other and are interconnected in spatial, cultural, and ideational terms in a significant and distinguishable manner." Regions, therefore, are a defined subsystem within a broader international (or interstate) system. According to Robert Jervis, we are dealing with a system when there are (a) a set of units or elements interconnected so that changes in some elements or their relationships produce changes in other parts of the system, and (b) the entire system exhibits properties and behaviors that are different from those of the constituent parts. Further, as Barry Buzan points out, "regions" are recent historical phenomena. The existence of a single international system of a sufficient geographic scope and interaction capacity to comprise multiple regions only dates to the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
