Abstract
In the introductory article for this special issue, we argue that studying territorial politics through comparative-historical analysis (CHA) offers valuable insights in understanding the changing territorial distribution of authority in federal, regional, and decentralized countries. We point to limitations that have beset the analysis of territorial politics and suggest how recent advances in CHA offer a promising approach to avoid and overcome existing shortcomings. We also demonstrate and illustrate the ways that vertical and horizontal dimensions of territorial structures evolve over time, from the moment they are created to subsequent episodes of reform. Our aim is to show that time has causal relevance in connecting past and present patterns of change and continuity, and thus in capturing the formative and developmental pathways of changes in territorial authority.

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
