Analysis of worldwide observations of stress-aligned SWS throughout the Earth’s crust and upper mantle show that distributions of fluid-saturated stress-aligned vertical microcracks are so closely spaced that they verge on fracture-criticality and fracturing if there is any disturbance(Crampin,1994;Crampin and Peacock,2005,2008).In the uppermost~400 km of the mantle the‘microcracks’are arguably intergranular films of hydrated melt(Crampin,2003).Phenomena verging on failure in this way are critical-systems which are part of a New Physics(Davies,1989b),hence the proposed New Geophysics reviewed by Crampin and Gao Y(2013).Critical-systems occur in all complex heterogeneous interactive phenomena as they approach singularities(in the case of the Earth,the singularity is at fracture-criticality),where below criticality the behaviour can be calculated/modelled by standard conventional sub–critical physics(or geophysics).However,at singularities there is deterministic chaos,where the behaviour can still be calculated,but the results may show orders of magnitude differences for minuscule differences in the initial conditions(Lorenz,1972).Such critical-systems of complex heterogeneous interactive phenomena are very common:the weather;climate change;the life cycle of fruit flies;stellar radiation;the New York stock exchange;etc.(Crampin et al.,2003).Hence,it must be expected that the Earth,an archetypal complex heterogeneous interactive phenomenon,must also be a critical-system with Lorenz-type sensitivity to initial conditions.The criticality of New Geophysics imposes a range of fundamentally-new properties on conventional sub-critical geophysics,some of which are listed in Table S1(Crampin and Gao Y,2013).All properties in Table S1have been observed(with one exception),many times.The exception,P6 Controllability,has not yet been tested.These properties cannot be understood by geoscientists restricted to experience in conventional sub-critical geophysics.A paradigm shift in understanding is required.It is hoped that the potential stress-forecasts plotted in Figures 1 and 2,Paper 1,and the evidence in this paper will promote paradigm shifts in understanding.
