Abstract
In this paper, we developed a mechanistic mathematical model. It implies the engineering problem of pothole development on roadways. The issue involves internal erosion, a decline of subsurface materials, voids creation, depression, materials damage, and potholes’ appearance on the road’s surface. Our study aims to predict why, how, and when pothole develops from the loss of roadway subsurface materials. We reviewed many sources as our first method. It involved using and adapting the guiding principles for migrating particles upwards. We then changed specific parameters, formulated our model equation, solved it using the separation of variables, and then verified it. Observations from our review show that high traffic load pressure and water must be present on the road for particle migration to occur. They generate excess pore-water pressure that enables the movement of particles upwards. Particle relocation causes voids and dislocation of materials. Results show that an increase in time, cracks, soil erosion coefficient, and a decrease in the roadway’s height led to a rise in the number of materials lost from the pavement. Our study is relevant because it will better inform road managers and modelers on potholes, and they can-do preventive measures to avert total road failure.

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
