Constraint-Guided Discovery Ecosystems

Paper 356 of 383
Published June 1, 2026

Discoveries rarely emerge from a single observation.

More commonly they emerge from ecosystems of interacting evidence.

Constraints support interpretations.

Interpretations guide decisions.

Decisions generate learning.

This paper evaluates discovery as an ecosystem process sustained through interacting networks of geological information.
