The Fertile Crescent is commonly defined through historical and cultural context, yet its underlying structure presents a coherent geological system spanning multiple basins. This paper evaluates the region as a structural network rather than a descriptive label.
The analysis focuses on basin connectivity, rift alignment, and regional coherence across the Levant system. Spatial relationships are examined to determine whether interconnected basins form a consistent structural pattern under shared constraints.
By reframing the region through geometry and alignment, the study isolates whether large-scale coherence exists independent of interpretation. This allows the system to be evaluated as a continuous structure rather than a collection of discrete regions.
This paper extends the sequence from localized alignment (Aegean) and depth anomaly (Dead Sea) into regional-scale structure, introducing basin networks as a higher-order constraint expression.
