Abstract
The INDEPTH project has applied modern geophysical techniques to the study of the crustal structure and tectonic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau. In the Lhasa Block, seismic reflection surveys in 1994 detected a number of bright-spots at 15–20 km depths that indicate zones of crustal fluids (aqueous fluids or partial melt). Coincident magnetotelluric (MT) data collected in 1995 detected a major zone of high electrical conductivity at the same depth as the bright-spots. Using constrained inversion, the MT data require a minimum crustal conductance of 6000 S. This abnormally high electrical conductance can be best explained by a layered model with fluids: partial melt, aqueous fluids or a combination of partial melt and aqueous fluids. The non-uniqueness of the MT method means that a wide range of melt fraction—thickness combinations for the above models could all explain the 6000 S conductance. To distinguish between these three models, other geophysical and geological data are required. Reflection seismic data suggest that a high fluid content (>15 per cent) is present at the top of the layer. The amplitude-versus-offset data suggest that the top of this layer may be aqueous fluids rather than partial melt. Passive seismic data imaged a 20 km thick layer of lower fluid content that is probably partial melt. Petrological studies suggest that concentrations of aqueous fluids above 0.1 per cent at mid-crustal depth cannot be sustained. Taken together, these data show that the high conductivity in Southern Tibet is most probably the result of a relatively thin layer of aqueous fluids (100–200 m) overlying a thicker zone of partial melt (>10 km).

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
