Abstract
<!--!introduction!--><b></b> After the creation and publication of the UNB_TopoDens_2v01 laterally varying topographic density model, many research groups and organizations across the world implemented this high-resolution density information for a wide variety of geodetic and geophysical applications. Our most frequently asked question from users is whether there will be a three-dimensional version of the density model. The answer is yes. By combining the depth dependent estimates of density based on material bulk moduli with models of expected geological structures, we believe that the creation of a three-dimensional density model of topography is possible using already existing datasets. In this study, we investigate the depth dependent density variations within the Earth’s topography and assess the validity of using topographical surface densities to provide density estimates of various crustal structures. The goal of UNB_TopoDens 3.0 is to generate a three-dimensional density model of the Earth’s topography, which is important for geoid modelling applications. Future work will focus on refining crustal models and expanding the density model to the Mohorovičić discontinuity.

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
