Abstract
field of scholarship that is well-suited to comparative study.The social sciences, for instance, have long been interested in comparing conflict resolution strategies and power-sharing policies across post-partition regions such as Ireland, India, Cyprus, Germany, Palestine/Israel, and Korea (e.g.Fraser 1984;Greenberg 2004;Goddard 2009;Harel-Shalev 2010).Comparative frameworks have also been used to examine partitioned lands in the shadow of the British and French Empires (e.g.Lustick 1995; Miles 2014).Other scholars have explored the occupation of Palestine by the State of Israel alongside Apartheid South Africa (e.g.Regan 2008; Papp 2015).While individual case studies of specific partitions and their legacies obviously contribute to the depth of knowledge around a partition or territorial division, much is to be gained from border-crossing endeavours.Comparative work attends to the worthwhile "learning of lessons" from one case to the next that could be useful on a nation-state level in policy-making.It additionally brings to light patterns in religious, ethnic, and national conflict that can reveal much about humanity, and can expose the everyday realities of living through partition conflict and its aftermath at a local level.Scholarship on the creative arts, however, such as literature and film, has been less prolific than in the social sciences in terms of border-crossing and using a multi-locational lens.Joe Cleary's book Literature, Partition and the Nation State: Culture and Conflict in Ireland, Israel and Palestine (2002) remains the pioneer in the field.Since its publication, not many have taken on the complex task of employing a cross-regional and trans-temporal approach to the wide variety of cultural responses to global partitions (exceptions are Mufti 2007 and Bernard 2010).Yet, scaling back from the global, there is evidence that crossing the borders established in just one place by a single partition is also not a very common approach because there is a dearth of cross-regional and trans-temporal methods in the context of the 1947 Partition of India, with which this paper is concerned.The Partition is the most significant and violent upheaval in the modern history of South Asia.The creation of West Pakistan and East Pakistan and subsequently Bangladesh has permanently altered South Asian geopolitics and given rise to unresolved border disputes, most notably in the case of Kashmir and the Line of Control (LoC) between India and Pakistan, which

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
