Some geological regions appear internally coherent.
Their structures, basins, corridors, and transitions reinforce one another across large distances.
Other regions appear fragmented.
Relationships become weaker, discontinuous, or difficult to trace.
This paper evaluates geological coherence as a measurable gradient rather than a binary condition.
The objective is to determine whether coherence itself represents a useful Earth-system property.
A coherent system is not necessarily simple.
A coherent system is one whose relationships remain visible despite increasing complexity.
