Abstract
Abstract Several extensions of the concept of acoustic impedance (AI) to oblique incidence exist and are known as elastic impedances (EI). These quantities are constructed by heuristic integrations of reflectivity series but still involve approximations and do not represent a unique medium property. Nevertheless, for unambiguous interpretation, it is desirable to have an EI that would (1) be a mechanical property of the medium and (2) yield exact reflection coefficients at all angles of incidence. Here, such a definition is given for P- and/or SV-wave propagation in an arbitrary isotropic medium. The exact elastic P/SV impedance is a matrix quantity and represents the differential operator relating the stress and strain boundary conditions. With the use of the matrix form of the reflectivity problem, no approximations are required for accurate modeling of reflection (P/P and SV/SV) and mode-conversion (P/SV and SV/P) coefficients at all angles and for any contrasts in elastic properties. The matrix EI can be computed from real well logs and inverted from ray-parameter-dependent seismic reflectivity. Known limiting cases of P- and S-wave acoustic impedances are accurately reproduced and the approach also allows the extension of the concept of impedance to an attenuative medium. The matrix impedance readily lends itself to inversion with uncertainties typical of the standard acoustic-impedance inversion problem.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
