Formalizing Atlantic Fracture-Zone Geometry

Atlantic fracture systems exhibit some of the longest continuous linear structures observable within the oceanic domain. Their geometry can be described independently of the tectonic mechanisms responsible for their formation.

This paper introduces formal descriptors including linear persistence, spacing intervals, directional consistency, segmentation frequency, and regional continuity.

The objective is to create a repeatable framework for comparing fracture systems with other large-scale geological expressions such as ridges, trenches, mountain chains, and basin networks.

Formal geometric description enables oceanic structures to be incorporated into broader comparative analyses without requiring identical geological settings.

This paper establishes Atlantic fracture systems as a formal geometric reference class within the ABC Sequencing framework.
