Modern geological investigations generate enormous quantities of information.
The primary challenge is often not acquiring additional observations but determining which observations deserve attention.
This framework evaluates geological signal through survivorship, repetition, network support, geometric persistence, anomaly concentration, and independent verification.
Noise is defined as information that fails to improve predictive understanding after repeated testing.
Signal is defined as information that continues improving predictive understanding as observational scope expands.
Within ABC Sequencing, signal-to-noise analysis functions as a filtering mechanism.
The framework rewards observations that survive challenge rather than observations that merely attract attention.
The objective is not to eliminate uncertainty.
The objective is to improve the ratio of signal to noise.
