The pockmark structure examined in this study is located on top of an accreted ridge, where the low-permeability base of the gas hydrate stability field is also elevated, and fluid overpressure will be induced tectonically. Elongated hydraulic fractures reveal decreased reflection amplitudes and are oriented along the maximum principal stress direction, perpendicular to nearby fault planes. A surface expression is created by fluid and material expulsion, forming an irregular, noncircular rim along the axis of the upflow zone. Our findings confirm a relationship between lateral variations in seismic reflectivity and sediment distribution, regional tectonics, episodic fluid flow, and the formation and dissociation of gas hydrate. They explain the presence of gas hydrate at the top of the upflow zone, which requires transport of large volumes of gas through the gas hydrate stability field. Since hydraulic fracturing is not restricted to compressional regimes, it is a likely explanation for the nature, shape, and orientation of upflow zones as well as for seismic blanking widely observed at both active and passive continental margins.

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
