Abstract
From the signing of the first bilateral investment treaty (‘BIT’) with Egypt in 1982 to the latest BIT with Rwanda in 2008, the United States (‘US’) BIT programme has produced a multitude of BITs, 40 of which are currently in force.1 Numerous US Free Trade Agreements (‘FTAs’) contain investment chapters with content very similar to the most recent US BITs. These investment chapters include, among others, Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (‘NAFTA’) and Chapter 10 of the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (‘CAFTA-DR’). The negotiation of BITs and FTAs continues to be active. The US Government is currently in negotiations to conclude BITs with China, India, Mauritius, and Pakistan, and is exploring the possibility of BITs with Indonesia and Russia and a number of countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Negotiations to conclude the Transpacific Partnership Agreement, a proposed regional FTA between the United States, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam, are in full swing.

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.
