Abstract
Frontier-mindedness speaks loudly—not only of US history but apparently also of globalization. We are familiar with how the US western frontier opened lands and lore in the late nineteenth century. It, apparently, did not turn out to be the "last" US frontier needing cultivation. Marshall McLuhan and Bruce R. Powers argued convincingly in the mid-1960s that the "Canadian North ha[d] replaced the American West" in that capacity.2 In this volume, we similarly argue that the "Mexican South" is currently displacing the "Canadian North" in Washington policy-making calculations. While the McLuhan/Powers argument paved the way for introducing their global village thesis, ours is simply an assessment of how the southern US frontier shows so many of the symptoms of a global village within a regional context, and what policy-making framework may permit a more effective governance. For us, this frontier stretches not just along the official US boundary with Mexico, but also what George W. Bush called the third US border, that is, along Central America and the Caribbean, embracing parts of South America as well.3 KeywordsFree Trade AgreementWestern HemisphereNorth American Free Trade AgreementInternational RelationNorth Atlantic Treaty OrganizationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
