Structural prospectivity evaluates whether geological settings contain measurable features that increase investigative interest. These features may include fault intersections, deformation corridors, basin margins, fracture networks, uplift gradients, and recurring anomaly clusters.
This paper evaluates prospectivity through structural continuity, constraint density, recurrence frequency, anomaly clustering, signal ranking, and regional geological persistence.
Reference applications include mineral exploration, basin analysis, structural interpretation, resource evaluation, and comparative geological investigation.
The objective is to determine whether structural relationships can be ranked according to measurable support rather than subjective visual interpretation.
Within ABC Sequencing, prospectivity is treated as a structured outcome of constraint accumulation. Regions with multiple overlapping geological signals may warrant higher investigative priority.
The framework remains careful: prospectivity indicates where to look more closely, not what must be found.
This paper introduces structural prospectivity as a measurable expression of accumulated geological constraints and recurring anomaly support.
