Abstract
Sociologists have written thousands of pages on collective action but surprisingly little on how people and groups drift apart. Following the traditions of interactionist and processual sociology, this article develops a conceptual framework that explains the complex and dynamic social process of relationship dissolution. Our framework underscores three formal aspects of relationship dissolution: relational, temporal, and spatial. Though actors have agency in ending relationships, the physical and social spaces, in which they are located, as well as their varying access to those spaces, shape this process. Duration, frequency, rhythm, and synchronization, which are shaped by a series of events that influence the dynamics of interaction, characterize the temporality of relationship dissolution. The dissolution of relationships entails spatial and eventful changes to actors, their positions, and the nature of their interactions.

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
