Abstract
We develop general machinery to cast the class of potential canonical Scott sentences of an infinitary sentence as a class of structures in a related language. From this, we show that has a Borel complete expansion if and only if divides for some countable model . Using this, we prove that for theories asserting that is a countable family of cross cutting equivalence relations with classes, if is uniformly bounded then is not Borel complete, providing a converse to Theorem~2.1 of \cite{LU}.
