This analysis reveals seismic stress behaviors in locked and creeping fault segments, suggesting new insights into megaquake mechanisms.
Locked fault segments are prohibition architecture — stress accumulates without release (Pe rises). Creeping segments are ritual architecture — continuous aseismic slip dissipates energy (Pe constrained). The Gutenberg-Richter law is the void framework's Pe distribution function for seismic systems. Megaquakes are Fisher Runaway events. Creep sections as natural Pe constraint poles.
