Abstract
Graduate studies can be one of the most stressful periods of an individual’s life, and the added stressor of being at a distance from a significant other (SO) can complicate this issue. The partner is an important source of support and understanding during this process, and they can help alleviate stressors during this transition. Graduate students are typically not the focus of the research, and neither are the positive aspects of engaging in an long-distance relationship (LDR). Thus, this study addresses: What has been the process of maintaining an LDR while entering graduate studies? Participants were selected based on heterogenous and opportunistic sampling, and included four heterosexual, female graduate students whom were engaged in an LDR. Semi-structured interviews were utilized in conjunction with an grounded theory approach to better understand the subjective experiences of initiating, transitioning into, and maintaining an LDR while one partner undertook graduate studies.

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
