Folds are undulations or bends in rock layers caused by compressional forces. Key elements of folds include the wavelength, amplitude, hinge point, hinge line, and limbs. Folds can be classified based on their shape, orientation, and other geometric properties. Folds form as a result of tectonic and non-tectonic processes and can be recognized based on field observations like bedding repetition patterns and thickness variations.

The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
2. Folds
• Undulation or bends or curvatures developed
in the rocks of the crust.
• Parts of a folds
3. The different parts or elements of a
fold
Fold morphology comprises of components/
elements like:
• Wavelength of fold: The folds are the wave like
undulations found in the layered rocks.
Wavelength of the fold is the minimum distance
between its two successive points of same phase.
It can also be defined as the distance between two
alternating inflection points. For practical
purposes the distance between two successive
inflection points is considered as half wavelength
of the fold
4.
5. • Amplitude of fold: It is the length of perpendicular
drawn from hinge point of the fold on the line joining
the two successive inflection points of the fold.
• Hinge point: It is the point of maximum curvature
on the profile section of a fold. The profile of the fold
is a cross section or transverse section across the
hinge line of the fold.
• Hinge zone: Sometimes the maximum curvature of
the fold is not at a point but in a zone called hinge
zone. A hinge zone is a region where the dip of the
folded surface changes over small distance. Such a
region is also called a fold closure.
6. • Hinge line: It is the locus of hinge points of a
particular bedding plane. Hinge line of a fold is the
line of maximum curvature in the folded bed In other
words, we can say that hinge line is a line along
which change in the direction of dip takes place, and
on many folds this coincides with the amount of
maximum curvature.
• Fold axis: It is an imaginary line which by moving
parallel to itself generates the fold. The hinge line of a
fold is equivalent to ‘fold axis’ if it is straight and the
fold is cylindrical in nature.
7. • Inflexion point: It is a point of the fold with zero
curvature where its form changes. That is to say, it is
the point where an antiform changes into synform on
cross section of the fold or vice- versa.
• Inflexion line: This line is obtained by joining the
inflexion points of a folded layer. In other words, the
inflexion line is that line from where an antiform
changes into a synform or vice-versa.
• Limb: It is a portion of a fold between inflexion
point and hinge.
• Axial surface/ Plane: It is a surface formed by
joining of fold hinge lines of successive beds. When
the axial surface forms a plane it is called axial plane.
8.
9. • Crest: It is that point which is located highest in the
profile section of the fold.
• Trough: It is that point which is located lowest in the
profile section of a fold.
• Crestal line: This is located highest in the fold and is
obtained by joining the crestal points of its layer.
• Trough line: This is located lowest in the fold and is
obtained by joining the trough points its folded layer.
• Interlimb angle: the smallest angle between two
limbs
10. Geometric elements of folds
• Fold hinge
• Fold profile
plane: Plane
perpendicular to
hinge
• Hinge zone
• Fold limb
• Fold axial plane
11. • Fold closure indicates the direction in which the
limbs converge which is also referred sometimes by
the terms like arching and nose of the fold. The
shape of the fold closure depends on how the
curvature of the folded surface changes around the
hinge. The hinge may be very sharp and the limbs
may be relatively straight, or can have curvature
which is smoother around the fold
12. Based on Arching Direction
• Antiform is a fold which arches upward.
• Synform is fold which arches downward.
• Neutral fold arches neither up nor down but
sideways.
13.
14. • Classification of Folds
Anticlines – Strata uparched, convex upwards
- older rocks occupy a position in the interior
or core
- limb dip away from each other
Synclines – downarched
- youngest rock occupy in the interior or core
- limb dip towards each other
Anticlines Synclines
15.
16. Position of Axial Plane
• Symmetrical Folds – Axial Plane in vertical, limbs
are equal in length & dip equally
• Asymmetrical Folds – Limbs are unequal in length &
Dip unequal
• Overturned Folds – fold with inclined axial planes,
limbs are dipping essentially in same direction
Symmetrical
Asymmetrical
17.
18. • Fan Fold - A fold of strata in which both limbs are
overturned, In anticlinal fan fold two limbs dip
towards each other – In syncline fan fold two limbs
dip away from each other
19. • Isoclinal folds – limbs are dipping in the same
direction at equal angles
• Recumbent Folds – lower limb is termed inverted or
reversed limb, core is the inner part
20.
21. • Conjugate Folds – pair of fold / mutually inclined
axial plane
• Box Folds – flat top & steeply inclined limbs
Based on Degree of Compression
• Open Fold – thickness of rock is uniform
• Closed Fold – thick crest & thin limb
22.
23. • Mode of Occurrence
• Anticlinorium – large size fold running for
several hundred KM. It has numerous small
scale fold of various type
24.
25. • Synclinorium
• Dome and Basins – group of strata centrally
uplifted from below. The strata dip away in all
direction. Basin : all layers dip towards a
common centre
26. Position of Axis
• Plunging Folds – axis makes an angle with the
horizontal plane
• Non Plunging Folds – Axis horizontal
27. Behaviour with depth
• Concentric Folds
• Similar Folds – axial region thick than limb
• Supratenous Fold – formed by erosion & deposition
various thickness
• Monocline – local warping – shows an abrupt local
steep inclination
28.
29. • Homocline – strata dipping in the same
direction at uniform angle
• Drag Fold – minor fold within the body
weaker layer
30. • Chevron fold: The fold in which both the crest and
trough are sharp and angular such a zig zag folds are
called chevron fold.
31.
32. Controlling Factors of Fold
Geometry
1. Composition and rheological properties of the
competent layer
2. Change in rheological properties of the layer as
P-T change during folding
3. Nature of the less competent matrix
4. Competence contrast (viscosity ratio) between
the layer and the matrix
5. Mechanical properties of the interface between
competent layers (welded or detached)
33. 6. Thickness of the competent layer
7. Thickness contrast between the competent
and the incompetent lay layers
8. Presence (or absence) of multi-layer sequence
9. Orientation of the layer (with respect to the
strain ellipse)
10.Magnitude of stress and scale of folding
34. CAUSES OF FOLDING
• Tectonic Causes: The tectonic reasons developed due to
compressive forces may include orogenic (mountain
building) forces and endogentic forces which are
generated within the Earth.
• Non-tectonic causes: The non-tectonic reasons which
may cause local folding may be due to hill side creep,
collapse or gravity sliding, erosion of certain bed, glacial
ice push, solution, differential compaction and
contemporaneous or synsedimentary deformation
(deformation occurring at the time of sedimentation).
35. CRITERIA FOR RECOGNITION
OF FOLDS
• Rock Weathering that geological agencies like wind,
river, glacier, underground water, etc. causes
weathering and erosion resulting in the lowering of
uplifted surfaces.
• The effect of erosion on folded strata is to produce
outcrops such that the succession of beds of one limb
is repeated (though of course in the reverse order) in
the other limb.
• In an eroded anticline, the oldest bed outcrops in the
centre of the fold and as we move outwards,
successively younger beds are found in the outcrop.
36. • In the eroded syncline, conversely, the youngest bed
outcrops at the centre of the structure, with
successively older beds outcropping to the either side.
• Folds are often visible on the surface and can be
recognised with naked eye but at sometimes it is not
possible to recognise folds.
• There are certain other deformations which alter the
surface, making it difficult to directly recognise the
fold.
37. The following criteria may be used to recognise or
detect folds in the field:
• Direct observation: Folds may be recognised by
direct observations on the outcrops exposed along the
valley walls, stream, road or railway cuttings,
quarries or tunnels.
• By measuring the attitudes of beds: If the folds are
larger than outcrops they are recognised by
measurements of dip and strike data of bedding
planes.
38. • By repetition patterns of beds: A symmetric
repetition of beds helps in recognising the fold in the
field. For example, on a linear path if the repetition
occurs in the pattern DCBCD, this would mean that
the fold axis is located in bed B which divides the
rock sequence into 2 halves which are mirror image
to each other.
• By variation in thickness: If the thickness of the bed
is gradually increasing or decreasing, there might be
fold.
• By cleavage- bedding relationship: The cleavage
bedding relation criteria can be used to find the fold.
The top bottom of bed can also be used to identify the
folds.
39. • When the types of folds are to be recognized on
the basis of the age consideration of the beds, the
top and bottom of beds are determined by taking
into account the nature, and form of the features
occurring on the beds itself. Accordingly some
types of folds have been inferred.
• It is usually observed that streams follows the axis
portion of the anticline ridges and high lands and
damped-structures occur along the axis of the
synclines. So; sometimes the direction flow of
stream or river shows the presence of a fold.
