Geological systems are often described as discrete regions. However, many observations suggest that structural, tectonic, depositional, and topographic relationships may extend across multiple neighboring domains.
This paper evaluates continuity chains through corridor persistence, transition zones, deformation gradients, structural connectivity, basin relationships, and regional geological coherence.
Reference systems include the Aegean region, Eastern Mediterranean, Levant corridor, Arabian structural provinces, Zagros Fold Belt, and Himalayan deformation systems.
The objective is to determine whether geographically separated observations may form larger chains of continuity when evaluated through measurable geological relationships.
Within ABC Sequencing, continuity chains function as observational frameworks that connect local geological features into broader regional contexts.
The framework emphasizes measurable continuity rather than assumed connection.
This paper evaluates whether regional geological observations organize into measurable chains of continuity extending across multiple neighboring domains.
