Abstract
Unlike sovereign nations, minority nations cannot fully empower their societal cultures exclusively with their own autonomous institutions, because they are evolving within a larger political state and a more comprehensive legal order. In this article, we compare Catalonia, Quebec, and South Tyrol with regard to their legal capacity to develop their societal culture by their own autonomous institutions. In doing so, we identify six legally oriented pillars that are central for a minority nation to sustain its societal culture, on the one hand, and that are fundamental for a multinational (quasi)federation to feed a healthy democratic and hospitable environment for all, on the other hand. Those pillars form the building blocks of the Societal Culture Index, which allows measuring and comparing minority nations by combining normative studies and empirical research. Hence, we argue that governance in (quasi)federal system will be improved to the extent that minority nations score as high as possible on the Index.

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
