Interior Dynamics
Planetary response does not end when impact energy dissipates.
Instead, Earth enters a prolonged stabilization phase involving mantle circulation, thermal redistribution, crustal adjustment, magnetic evolution, and orbital interaction.
Observation
Modern Earth represents the end product of billions of years of interior reorganization.
Constraint Analysis
Reconstruction requires distinguishing between initial event response and later planetary relaxation.
Core Question
How much of the modern Earth reflects the original event, and how much reflects subsequent stabilization?
Transition
The next sequence begins Rotating Earth I–XXVIII and starts building the mathematical and physical response framework required for the toroidal deformation hypothesis.
