Overview
Across multiple polyhedral faces, quartz‑bearing granites, tuffs, and high‑silica sands co‑occur with engineered channels, chambers, and terraces. V4.10 provides a reproducible index pair—a Quartz Ignition Index (QII) and a Resonant Trigger Likelihood (RTL)—so teams can score sites with transparent inputs, then validate against observed events (spring surges, conduit opening, acoustic/EM anomalies).
This chapter bridges V4.5 (solar–quartz coupling), V4.6 (phase release), and V4.9 (reservoir state control), and is designed for both public readability and coder‑level reproducibility.
Objectives
- Define a Quartz Ignition Index (QII) that integrates mineral quality, fabric, and hydrologic context.
- Define a Resonant Trigger Likelihood (RTL) that couples QII with solar forcing and electro‑hydrologic sensitivity.
- Specify inputs and methods that can be field‑audited and unit‑tested via scripts.
- Publish validation pathways (blind tests, sensitivity, temporal cross‑checks) for peer review.

After this table we reference plain terms in the prose; symbol semantics live in the Charter.
Data Inputs
Layer | Source Types | Use in Model |
---|---|---|
Mineralogy | Quartz index maps; petrography; thin‑section fabric; magnetic lineation | Compute quartz quality & fabric alignment; identify piezo‑active bodies |
Hydrology | Aquifer maps; head gradients; seepage; spring hydrographs | Hydraulic head; conduit continuity; dampers/valves |
Structure | Faults & joints; fracture density; void surveys; LiDAR | Chamber integrity; resonance cavity geometry |
EM / Solar | Kp/Ap; sunspots; TEC; ground magnetics | Solar forcing; EM anomalies; timing windows |
Acoustics | Ambient infrasound; cavity Q; echo times | Resonance verification; damping behavior |
Methods (transparent, testable)
- Mineral quality: scale quartz quality to 0–1 from abundance + oriented fabric + piezo/pyro assays.
- Chamber integrity: normalize void stability, lining, and fracture sealing to 0–1.
- Hydraulic head: extract local head (m) from hydro maps and site surveys.
- Forcing: compute solar forcing and electro‑hydro coupling (0–1) using V4.5 inputs and local EM observations.
- Indices: calculate QII and RTL (below) and publish component scores per site for peer reproducibility.
Quartz Ignition Index (QII)
We define a geometry‑aware quartz ignition potential. In plain terms:
Component | Plain name | Weight | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Q_he_ru | quartz resonance quality | w_q = 0.45 | Abundance × fabric × piezo/pyro readiness |
Ι_he_ru | chamber integrity | w_i = 0.30 | Void stability & sealing |
H* | scaled hydraulic head | w_h = 0.25 | Head rescaled to [0–1] via logistic squashing |
QII = w_q·Q + w_i·Integrity + w_h·H* (bounded to [0,1]). Default weights are transparent and adjustable during calibration.
Resonant Trigger Likelihood (RTL)
We couple the ignition potential to ambient drivers:
Driver | Plain name | Weight | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
S_he_ru | solar forcing index | v_s = 0.40 | Sunspot/CME windowing, Kp/Ap, TEC |
χ_he_ru | electro‑hydro coupling | v_x = 0.30 | Permeability/discharge response to EM/thermal |
QII | quartz ignition index | v_q = 0.30 | From prior section |
RTL = v_s·Solar + v_x·Coupling + v_q·QII (bounded to [0,1]). Use temporal windowing (e.g., solar storms) to score episodic risk.
Outputs
- Per‑site QII, RTL with component breakdowns (CSV + charts).
- Ignition windows (time‑stamped episodes where RTL exceeds threshold).
- Maps showing quartz corridors, chamber candidates, and head gradients.
- Playbooks for monitoring: EM sensors, acoustic mics, spring loggers.
Validation & Reproducibility
- Blind corridors: calibrate V4.10 in Region A, predict Region B; verify against independent hydrologic/EM events.
- Event cross‑checks: correlate high‑RTL windows with spring surges, conduit openings, microquakes.
- Sensitivity: vary weights ±0.1; report rank stability of sites and timing windows.
- Temporal tests: lag/lead analysis vs. Kp/Ap and TEC anomalies; publish significance.
Implementation Notes
- Keep inputs unit‑transparent; publish scaling functions (e.g., logistic for head → H*).
- Log raw and normalized values; never hide rescaling.
- If any driver is missing (e.g., no EM data), re‑normalize RTL weights and flag in output notes.
- Optional script hook:
scripts/quartz_ignition.py
(QII/RTL calculator) with--csv
batch mode.
Position in V4
V4.10 completes the mineral–hydro–solar triad for controlled release. It informs V4.11 (kinetic tools) and synthesizes with V4.9 (phase reservoirs), while remaining auditable and conservative in its defaults.
🧱 Modular Expansion
Version 4 modules are stackable and interoperable, supporting comparative synthesis with planetary models, marine echo structures, and cultural occupation layers.
