Abstract
SummaryThe capability to perform laboratory measurements with both low-frequency forced-oscillation and high-frequency wave-propagation methods, under conditions of independently controlled confining and pore-fluid pressure, offers the prospect of new insight into the frequency-dependent seismic properties expected of cracked and fluid-saturated rocks of the Earths upper crust. An important step in the development of such broad-band capability has been the modification of existing laboratory equipment to newly allow flexural, as well as torsional, forced-oscillation testing of cylindrical rock specimens. Flexural oscillation tests on an experimental assembly containing a fused silica control specimen yield results indistinguishable from those of numerical modelling with both finite-difference and finite-element methods – demonstrating the viability of the method. Both torsional and flexural oscillation methods along with complementary high-frequency wave propagation methods have been applied to specimens of dense polycrystalline alumina and quartzite, each thermally cracked to generate an interconnected network of cracks of low aspect ratio, and tested dry, and saturated with either argon or water. The shear and flexural moduli vary systematically with effective pressure – providing clear evidence of pressure-induced crack closure. Similarities and differences between effective moduli measured under different conditions of pore-fluid saturation are tentatively interpreted in terms of the timescales for stress-induced redistribution of pore fluid.

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
