Planetary Memory Architecture
A reconstruction extending billions of years into Earth's past depends upon the survival of information.
The Earth: Day Zero framework refers to the distribution and preservation of that information as planetary memory architecture.
Operational Definition
Planetary memory refers to the persistence of measurable structure, geometry, composition, and physical relationships through geological time.
Research Question
Which classes of observations are most likely to survive billions of years of tectonic, erosional, and mantle-driven modification?
