Geological systems are commonly analyzed independently. However, many regions simultaneously contain structural, topographic, depositional, tectonic, and geometric observations that may overlap within the same spatial domain.
This framework evaluates overlap through continuity chains, anchor density, corridor interactions, structural boundaries, extreme-point relationships, and regional geological persistence.
Reference applications include deformation corridors, basin systems, trench environments, uplift systems, planetary anchor chains, and comparative Earth-system analysis.
The objective is to establish a repeatable methodology for identifying locations where multiple independent geological systems intersect.
Within ABC Sequencing, overlap functions as a ranking mechanism for observational significance.
The framework does not require common origin among overlapping systems.
It requires only that overlap be measurable.
The strongest overlap zones occur where multiple categories coexist.
This paper formalizes multi-system overlap as a framework for identifying regions where independent geological observations accumulate and reinforce one another.
