Abstract
What Are Politics?There's no question that the idea of a borderless world appeals to some quixotic impulses.A time without borders sounds like freedom, or something akin to it.No more passports, no more detention camps, no more expulsions and deportations, no more ICE or Brexit, no more putatively decent people pushing boats of starving refugees back into the sea.But any instigation of borderlessness is perilous.The market fundamentalism of neoliberalism loves the elimination of trade barriers as its own form of borderlessness.Late capitalism cheers the freeing of corporate flows of capital through and across nation-states for transnational accumulation, but aggressively denies that same freedom of movement to people.That version of borderlessness leaves most of us trapped in confounding spiderwebs of capture.Where there is a border, there is aways a political community in flux -never fully formed, never solidified and whose membership is liquid and prone to the possibility of suspension, dissipation, and possible exile -all in the name of fixity and solidity.The production of inferiority creates constant unabating anxiety about whether one deserves to be there or not, whether a knock on the door or a phone call will turn one's life upside down.It is a characteristic of the permanent state of order and disorder where one's status can always be taken away.Crises of ecology and economy have inevitable inertias that lead to extreme localism as a possible intervention to global capital flows and domestic inequalities.Calls for direct democracy and organic forms of decision-making have populist appeal on the left and right.The calls for

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.
