A Block Model of Present‐Day Kinematics of Alaska and Western Canada
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame, the usual design, would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.
Full frame distilled prediction
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)
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
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.

Abstract
Abstract We present an updated GPS velocity field for Alaska and western Canada and use it to develop the first regionally comprehensive tectonic block model for the area based on modern geodetic data. The greatest tectonic influences along the southern margin are the translation, collision, and flat slab subduction of the Yakutat block and subduction of the Pacific plate. Northward directed velocities surrounding the Yakutat collisional front are consistent with indenter‐related deformation while southcentral Alaska is undergoing a counterclockwise rotation. Westerly velocities in western Alaska and along the Aleutian forearc suggest that crustal material is escaping into the Bering Sea region. The majority of relative plate motion is taken up along major boundary faults, but right‐lateral strike‐slip faults in interior and western Alaska accommodate part of the motion. Escape tectonics in western Alaska extends as far north as the Kaltag fault. We observe significant motion relative to North America in every part of Alaska, including the North Slope. Evidence of localized right‐lateral shear between the Totschunda and Fairweather faults suggests that strain transfer into interior Alaska has moved away from the eastern Denali‐Chatham Strait system to a more direct corridor. Observed deformation in southcentral Alaska indicates that locked portions of the Yakutat flat slab extend further east and north than previously estimated.
