We present results of long-duration dehydration-melting experiments on amphibolites to show that melting depths of >48 km are required to have sufficient garnet in the residuum for generating the degree of heavy rare earth element (REE) depletion documented in Early Archean TTG. This depth constraint is inconsistent with early crust evolution models that posit melting at the base of oceanic plateaus or oceanic crust to explain the origin of Early Archean continental crust. Alternative explanations for this early crust, e.g., subduction models, are problematic in that they do not readily provide a mechanism for initiation of subduction in a hotter Archean Earth. We hypothesize that intraoceanic subduction systems in the Archean originated due to gravitational instabilities produced by compositional and density contrasts between converging oceanic plateau and normal oceanic lithosphere. Our model differs from earlier models of subduction initiation in that subduction of oceanic lithosphere occurs through the 'hot' mantle residuum (protomantle lithosphere) at the base of newly formed oceanic plateau crust. Under a high Archean geothermal gradient, subducted oceanic crust would melt to produce TTG. This model explains the origin of subduction systems, TTG, TTG–mafic and/or ultramafic magma association, stabilization of continental crust, and the broadly coeval formation of cratons and their lithospheric roots.

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
