Abstract
Magmatic stoping, i.e., the formation, transfer into, and movement through magma of older plutonic and metamorphic host-rock xenoliths, was widespread in the Mesozoic Sierra Nevada batholith (California, United States). However, the prevailing view that stoped blocks form by rapid thermal shattering and collapse into chambers may not be the dominant process of block formation and displacement into chambers in the Sierra Nevada. In detailed studies in and around the Tuolumne Batholith and Jackass Lakes pluton, we found evidence for the following history of block formation in slightly older, fairly isotropic plutonic host rocks: (1) low stress sites developed, leading to planar zones of increased porosity; (2) focused porous fl ow of fi rst felsic melts followed by intermediate melts led to growth of magma fi ngers, which in turn led to increased porosity and loss of host-rock cohesion; and (3) connection of mag matic fi ngers resulted in the formation of dike-like channels in which fl ow facilitated removal of all host-rock material in these planar zones. Once formed, blocks were initially displaced by repeated magma injections along these channels, often resulting in uni directional growth in these zones creating local magmatic sheeted complexes along block margins. Free block rotation occurred when suffi cient nonlayered magma surrounded the host block; in some cases, segments of former sheeted zones remain attached to rotated blocks.

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
