Geological observations are not distributed uniformly across Earth.
Certain regions exhibit greater concentrations of structural relationships, inherited boundaries, persistence systems, resource associations, and recurring observations.
This paper evaluates the concept of a constraint density surface, representing spatial variation in the concentration of independent geological constraints.
The objective is to determine whether regions of elevated constraint density correspond to regions of elevated geological significance.
A region becomes increasingly informative as independent geological constraints accumulate within the same spatial domain.
Constraint density may therefore provide a useful measure of geological significance.
