Abstract
Wear limits the lifespan of many mechanical devices with moving parts. To reduce wear, lubricants are frequently enriched with additives that form protective pads on rubbing surfaces. With first-principles molecular dynamics simulations of pads derived from commercial additives, namely zinc-phosphates, we unravel the molecular origin of how anti-wear pads can form and function. These effects originate from pressure-induced changes in the coordination number of atoms acting as cross-linking agents, in this case zinc, to form chemically connected networks. The proposed mechanism explains a diverse body of experiments and promises to prove useful in the rational design of anti-wear additives that operate on a wider range of surface materials with reduced environmental side-effects.

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
