TRACE: A Multi-Agent System for Autonomous Physical Reasoning in Seismological Science

ArXi:2603.21152v1 Announce Type: cross Inferring the physical mechanisms that govern earthquake sequences from indirect geophysical observations remains difficult, particularly across tectonically distinct environments where similar seismic patterns can reflect different underlying processes. Current interpretations rely heavily on the expert synthesis of catalogs, spatiotemporal statistics, and candidate physical models, limiting reproducibility and the systematic transfer of insight across settings.
