Signal Analysis III: Null Model Testing
Null models provide a baseline against which reconstruction hypotheses may be evaluated.
The Entrance
The Antarctic archive provides an observational domain through which null models may be tested.
The Exit
The Arctic Circle provides an independent comparison domain within the framework.
The Middle Mountain
The middle mountain remains the organizing bridge connecting the larger reconstruction sequence.
Observational Constraints
Null models establish expected patterns under ordinary geological processes before introducing alternative interpretations.
Geological & Geophysical Constraints
Models must remain compatible with geophysical surveys, basin evolution, structural geology, mantle dynamics, and independent verification.
Reconstruction Question
What observations remain unexplained after null models are applied?
