Theyʼd be completely normal independent frames. Think two half screen
gui frames aligned next to each other, but then on a tty.

If there was a way in Emacs to tell window generating commands to
pretend that only the left half of the current tty frame should be
considered, then I could use that, but I donʼt know of one. (hmm,
could I spike `frame-width' somehow?)

(itʼs an obscure use case, so itʼs really not a big deal if itʼs not
supported. posframe or similar on tty would already be fantastic)
