Abstract
The author discusses the process behind a map of his creation, “A View of the Border.” It charts Ireland's north/south frontier and has been used to illustrate the author's 2017 monograph, The Rule of the Land: Walking Ireland's Border. Defending or questioning the legitimacy of Ireland's border is still a defining force in Ireland's politics, especially in Northern Ireland. In addition, this border is soon to become the United Kingdom's only land border with the European Union. The author takes issue with the borderline symbol on maps, suggesting that the reduction of Ireland to a binary has negative ramifications in political discourse – contributing to an us-versus-them stalemate. On the ground, Ireland's border is largely invisible and almost completely permeable; the author wondered if the border could be mapped in a way that would reflect this. To identify original modes of mapping the frontier, the author travelled the borderline from end to end. The resulting map charts defensive architecture and historical sites, as well as unofficial cross-border routes and other subjects. Many topographic elements on “A View of the Border” do not generally appear on maps; the author explains the thinking behind the inclusion of some of these elements and discusses designing the icons used represent them. The conclusion asks if any of the creative decisions made in “A View of the Border” could be applied to maps other border regions.

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.
