Published June 1, 2026

Discovery emerges from a sequence of connected activities.

Observation.

Interpretation.

Constraint formation.

Ranking.

Decision-making.

Learning.

This paper integrates the major frameworks developed throughout the sequence into a unified Earth-System Discovery Architecture.

Architecture Principle

Discovery is not a single event.

Discovery is the output of an architecture capable of continuously improving understanding.
