Distance alone does not establish geological significance. However, when multiple geological constraints appear organized across large distances, quantitative comparison becomes appropriate.
This framework evaluates distance relationships between major geological systems including the Aegean region, Dead Sea Basin, Zagros Fold Belt, Himalayan Orogen, Mount Everest, and the Mariana Trench.
Observable variables include geographic separation, structural continuity, deformation persistence, basin architecture, relief magnitude, and corridor alignment.
The objective is to determine whether measurable geological constraints remain coherent across increasing spatial scales.
Within ABC Sequencing, distance correlation serves as a quantitative checkpoint. If continuity decreases with scale, interpretations must be adjusted accordingly. If continuity persists, additional testing becomes justified.
The framework prioritizes measurement over narrative and treats correlation as a starting point for investigation rather than a conclusion.
This paper introduces distance correlation as a measurable checkpoint within the broader geometric framework and prepares the sequence for quantitative comparison of planetary-scale constraints.
