Planetary Memory III: Signal Amplification
Not all information survives because it is preserved.
Some information survives because planetary processes amplify its visibility.
Observation
Small structural differences may produce large geological consequences through feedback, inheritance, basin development, mantle flow, and crustal organization.
Constraint Analysis
Amplification mechanisms may allow ancient events to remain detectable long after direct evidence has disappeared.
Core Question
Which geological and geophysical systems amplify ancient signal most effectively?
