Map-Level Event Physics
The event must be evaluated at map scale before mechanism is assigned.
Map-level physics asks whether planetary structures form coherent spatial relationships consistent with a single high-energy forcing event.
Observation
Candidate signal appears across Antarctica, the Pacific basin, Mariana geometry, cratonic preservation, mantle structure, and Earth–Moon system constraints.
Constraint Analysis
A valid event reconstruction must explain spatial relationships without forcing the map to fit a preferred mechanism.
Signal Question
Does the modern Earth preserve a coherent event map, or are the apparent relationships products of later geological evolution?
Verification Path
Testing requires independent geospatial analysis, great-circle reconstruction, bathymetric comparison, gravity data, mantle tomography, and third-party verification.
