Abstract
The crystal chemistry of sursassite, simplified formula Mn2+2 Al3Si3O11(OH)3, from six different localities [(1) Falotta, Switzerland, (2) Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada, (3) Kamisugai, Japan, (4) Kamogawa, Japan, (5) Molinello, Italy, and (6) Gambatesa, Italy] was studied using electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The structure has two symmetry independent Mn sites. The Mn1 site is seven coordinated by O and hosts, in addition to Mn2+, up to 20% Ca, whereas Mn2 has octahedral coordination and is strongly selective for Mn2+. In the simplified formula, three smaller octahedral M sites are occupied by Al. However, M1 also accepts significant amounts of divalent cations, such as Cu, Mg, Fe, and Mn, whereas M2 is occupied exclusively by Al. The unit-cell parameters of sursassite are a = 8.698-8.728, b = 5.789-5.807, c = 9.778-9.812 Å, β = 108.879-109.060°, V = 465.7-470.0 Å3, the space group is P21/m. Structure refinements converged to R1 values of 2.15-6.62%. In agreement with bond-valence analyses, at least three OH groups, depending on the concentration of divalent cations at M1, are found at the O6, O7, and O11 positions. However, the bond-valence sum at O10 is always low, thus partial hydroxylation is assumed at O10 to maintain charge balance. Owing to the influence of divalent cations at M1 in sursassite the hydrogen-bond systems in sursassite and isostructural macfallite are different. The FTIR spectrum in the region of OH-stretching vibrations is characterized by three strong bands at 3511, 3262, and around 2950 cm-1, the latter being broad. The band at 2950 cm-1 is assigned to strong hydrogen bonds between O6 and O10 (O6···O10 = 2.66 Å). Residual difference-Fourier peaks in the refinement of the Kamogawa and Molinello (specimen 1) crystals indicated less than 5% pumpellyite intergrowth.

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
