Overview
Submerged vectors occur where trapped fluids, elastic strain, and geometry align to “unlock” stored energy. V4.4 integrates bathymetric inversion (V4.8), mineral resonance (V3.5), and hydrologic memory (V4.3) to isolate likely past and present release corridors.
Key Indices (Codex Notation)
| Concept | Symbol | Plain Term (ARIA) | Brief Definition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torsional Release Index | τ(תᚱ) | torsional release index |
Joint metric of shear/rotation readiness given stress, anisotropy, and fluid overpressure. |
| Subglacial Upwell Propensity | 𝒰(עᚢ) | subglacial upwell propensity |
Likelihood that basal waters erupt upwards (contra‑gradient) under unique pressure/thermal states. |
| Hazard Index | ℋ(חᚼ) | hazard index |
Composite risk of rapid release, canyon initiation, or shelf failure. |
| Provenance Index | ℙ(פᚦ) | provenance index |
Consistency of deposits with hypothesized release source and flow direction. |
Objectives
- Predict zones of high τ(תᚱ) along shelves, plateaus, and folded terrains.
- Map 𝒰(עᚢ) in ice‑covered or formerly glaciated basins (tie to V3.7 orbital pacing).
- Quantify ℋ(חᚼ) for monitoring and corridor planning.
- Use ℙ(פᚦ) to validate flow pathways against deposits/terraces/pockmarks.
Data Inputs
| Layer | Examples | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Bathymetry | Multibeam, shelf terraces, canyon heads, pockmark fields | Inversion & vector extraction |
| Stress/Strain | GNSS, focal mechanisms, flexure, GIA | Shear/rotation fields for τ |
| Hydro‑Memory | ℳ, 𝒞, σ layers from V4.3 | Fluid availability & pathway readiness |
| Mineral Fabric | Quartz/feldspar, anisotropy (V3.5) | Resonance & fracture orientation |
| EM/Solar | Ground EM flux, solar cycles (V4.5) | Trigger correlation (optional) |
Methods
- Bathymetric Inversion: derive pre‑submergence drainage from shelves; detect amphitheaters/ramps suggesting prior altitude (ref. V4.8).
- Torsion Field: combine shear strain, curvature, and anisotropy to compute τ(תᚱ).
- Upwell Mapping: evaluate pressure/thermal edge cases under/within ice or permafrost to score 𝒰(עᚢ).
- Hazard Fusion: fuse τ, 𝒰, slope breaks, pockmarks, and σ to produce ℋ(חᚼ).
- Provenance Check: cross‑validate deposits & terrace sequences ⇒ ℙ(פᚦ).
Schematic Relations
Torsional Readiness: τ(תᚱ) = g( Shear, Curv, 1/σ(סᚨ), ℳ(מᛃ), 𝒞(מᚾ) )
Hazard (schematic): ℋ(חᚼ) = a·τ(ᚱ) + b·𝒰(עᚢ) + c·Slope + d·Triggers
