20. All points in Fig. 1 were equilibrated for 5 ns and averaged over 0.5 ns. Additional equilibration for 25-100 ns was performed during annealing at T = 170 K and also at T = 80 K after decompression from 1.5-6 kbar to p = 0.
21. Similar treatment was applied in Ref. [6] at p = 8.4, 11, and 19 kbar.

27. A similar change of ring statistics occurs in amorphous silica under pressure; see Ref. [23].
28. One of several crystalline phases found upon annealing HDA′ to T = 175 K [21] is ice XII which also has 7- and 8-membered rings. We do not find any indication of interpenetrating networks in our RP up to 22.5 kbar.
