Abstract
The instability of a vertically oscillated layer of fluid is a classical problem whose history dates back to Faraday in the 19th century. We consider the stability of a shallow layer for which the oscillation, as expressed through the effective gravitational acceleration, is a random function of time. Using both theoretical linear stability analysis and high-resolution numerical simulations, including both individual realizations and ensemble calculations, of the nonlinear system of equations, we find that two different stochastic modes of instability exist. Both modes find their expression in finite amplitude oscillations of the free surface that exhibit sharp crests and broad troughs, or in other words, that resemble the classical Stokes wave. We demonstrate that a necessary condition for the first type of instability is snapshot, or instantaneous, instability. The subdominant instability resembles classical parametric resonance that can exist in a harmonically oscillated layer of fluid, and occurs even when the flow is always snapshot stable (or the gravitational acceleration is non-negative).

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
