Abstract
The Transnational Pattern of MobilityThe three life stories of Janusz, Oscar, and Malinka that I will discuss in-depth in this section serve as illustrations of the social phenomenon I have conceptualized as the pattern of transmobility.These life stories will not only instruct us on the variety of biographical circumstances leading to transnational mobility during certain phases of my respondents' life-courses, my analysis will also demonstrate how and when individuals change their mobility practices from one pattern to another.As mentioned earlier, analyzing Janusz's life story is important because his mobility practices change.In this chapter, however, his case reflects the typical biographical constellations, life strategies, and motivations for bilocal mobility.Bi-local mobility means that the mobility practices are directed to two destinations-not random ones, but specific destinations-namely the socalled "country of origin" and "country of arrival" (Poland-Germany/Poland-Canada).It therefore opens a comparative perspective with the pattern of immobility.Oscar's life story, the next case that I will examine in depth here, will instruct us on multi-local transnational mobility.His biographical experiences are symptomatic for the context of Montreal, not Toronto or Germany.Including his life story is essential because it opens up contextual comparisons with the other stories and the other patterns.Last but not least, I include the life story of Malinka.Her life story, like that of Janusz, emphasizes changes to and the evolution of mobility practices over time.She, too, shifts from one pattern of mobility to another.Her story, however, is exceptional in many ways, which serves as a good contrast to the former more typical stories.Transnational mobility is a heterogeneous post-migration experience.We will now see how my interviewees construct narratives about experiences of suffering or not as the case may be, cultural otherness, and experiences of integration into heterogeneous or multiple contexts, and how these experiences are linked with the border-crossing activity of transnational mobility.

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
