Abstract
The definition of North America as a sub-region of the New World from the end of the Cold War to the post-Cold War era is still a perennial problem. The paper focuses on the analysis of the status of three countries in North America during the period from 1980 through 2022. By using the comparative method, content analysis from a legal point of view, and historiographical and statistical methods, the paper offers an answer to the research question: Can Canada, Mexico, and the United States nourish the idea of North America as a common area? Divided into two periods - before and after 2001, the paper points to the importance of the bilateral Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA), which was superseded by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) as a trilateral agreement involving Canada, Mexico, and the US. Further on, NAFTA was substituted by the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) as the final version. CUSMA was created in the years of the growing trends towards the weakening of democracy in Mexico and the US. The conclusion of this paper is grounded on the findings related to this sub-region of the New World.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
