Abstract
Researchers are increasingly turning to relational approaches to island geography, with special emphasis being placed on archipelagos and land–sea interactions. Islands nevertheless continue to be associated with isolation, peripherality and/or disconnectedness, and fixed links such as bridges and causeways continue to be regarded as factors that decrease the quality of islandness. This does not, however, take into account the diversity of island spatialities and islands’ various positions within centre–periphery relationships. This paper sheds light on the complexity of island and archipelago connectivities by considering the transport infrastructure (bridges, boats, channels, harbours, canals, roadways) and relationships between, within and among the numerous islands of Venice Lagoon, Italy. The paper argues that island communities face diverse sets of challenges, and there is no single connectivity‐enhancing solution that is applicable to all islands. It furthermore argues that instead of seeing fixed links and intense connectivity as reducing a place's islandness, we should see them as altering the way in which a place's islandness is practised.

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
