Abstract
Abstract This chapter examines how international law might be understood as a legally pluralistic system. International law is rooted in value pluralism, but that value pluralism does not translate evidently into legal pluralism. What legal pluralism there is within the international legal system is very much at its discretion and characterized by the ascendancy of states, themselves often not paragons of pluralism. That is not the end, however, of the ways in which international law and legal pluralism might be conceptualized. To say that international law is pluralistic might mean that there are distinct regimes of international law within international law, that international law is uniquely decentralized, that spaces exist between states that manifest plurality, that international law is a series of functional systems of regulation, that international law encourages domestic legal pluralism, or that international law includes a range of actors that are already shaping it plurally beyond the state. The chapter concludes with some thoughts on the desirability and challenges of ordering pluralism.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
