Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Although Bernard Brunhes in 1904 presented the first evidence that the geomagnetic field had once reversed in polarity [ Laj et al. , 2002], modern studies of reversals only began in the late 1940s with the work of Jan Hospers and Alexandre Roche [ Opdyke and Channel , 1996]. Hospers also initiated modern studies of the time‐averaged form of the geomagnetic field [ Frankel , 1987]. His empirically based notion—that over several thousand years the geomagnetic field averaged to a geocentric axial dipole (GAD) that, as he and others showed, had recurrently reversed its polarity—allowed Creer et al. [1954] to trace the movement of the geographic pole (apparent polar wander path) relative to Britain and by geological extension, to Europe as well. This was the first such path based on paleomagnetic evidence, and it led in turn to the first successful physical test of continental drift [ Irving , 1988].

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
