An anomaly becomes more meaningful when it is supported by independent observations. A single unusual feature may remain ambiguous, but a network of supporting constraints can improve analytical confidence.
This framework evaluates anomaly support networks through constraint convergence, anchor density, structural overlap, continuity chains, extreme-point association, transition-zone persistence, and regional recurrence.
Reference applications include planetary anchor systems, basin anomalies, deformation corridors, trench systems, uplift systems, and comparative geological frameworks.
The objective is to establish a repeatable method for determining whether an anomaly is isolated or supported by a broader network of geological observations.
Within ABC Sequencing, support networks function as evidence structures. They do not prove interpretation, but they help determine which observations deserve further testing.
The strongest anomaly support networks are those that remain visible when additional data, alternative anchors, and competing interpretations are introduced.
This paper formalizes anomaly support networks as measurable evidence structures that help distinguish isolated anomalies from observations supported by broader constraint systems.
