Abstract
Several observations lead us to suggest that the geothermal gradient in regions near the Pleistocene ice margin may contain a transient signal that causes significant underestimation of pres - ent day heat flow. Heat flow increases with depth in northern hemisphere periglacial regions in Eurasia and North America. Temperature gradients increase with depth in thick clastic rocks in the Williston Basin where compaction causes an increase in thermal conductivity. Thermally mature oil source rocks occur in the Williston Basin where subsidence history suggests that rocks should be immature unless paleo-heat flow was higher. Pollen analyses in upland lakes in southern Manitoba indicate that MJJA surface temperatures are 13 °C higher than they were 12,500 ka. Conductive heat flow models using the pollen temperature history as a forcing signal for surface temperature produce temperature vs. depth profiles with increasing gradients that are similar to profiles observed in the Williston Basin.

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
