Abstract
The very notion of mixed jurisdiction and its agreed upon confinement or restriction to a greater or lesser mingling of two of the most widely spread legal traditions, the civil and the common law, have for the most part garnered the approval of comparatists.F.P. Walton referred to mixed jurisdictions as "legal systems in which the Romano-Germanic tradition has become suffused."1 Suffusion is the concept often used to describe mixed jurisdictions in that a mixed jurisdiction is an overspreading of two legal systems into a culmination of one.Walton's view contrasts with that of Palmer who writes that "Israel and Scotland are the only states of this kind [mixed] which one might say freely chose to become hybrid and did so as independent countries.The others acted under compulsion."2 Palmer also writes that [a]n under-emphasized but vital fact is the difference between British-and American-influenced mixed jurisdictions.Although both influences are common law, . . .[c]ivil law in South Africa, Quebec, and Israel has cohabited exclusively with the English common law, . . .[o]n the other hand, civil law in Louisiana, Puerto Rico and the Philippines has lived in turbulent monogamy with American 3 law.

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
