Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

It has long been understood that the stratigraphic record is fragmentary. Barrell (1917) in a paper that was many years ahead of its time, was the first to clearly understood 1) the importance of accommodation, and 2) the very episodic way in which accommodation is created and removed by geological processes. He demonstrated that under typical conditions of base-level rise and fall only a fraction of geologic time is represented by accumulated sediment. This point was repeated in several influential books by Ager (1973, 1993). One of the most important, yet neglected, discoveries about the nature of the sedimentary record is the correlation between the duration of a sedimentary unit and its sedimentation rate (Sadler, 1981). Sedimentation rates range over more than eleven orders of magnitude.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
