Scientific frameworks become progressively stronger when they generate hypotheses capable of being tested, challenged, refined, or rejected through observation.
This framework evaluates hypothesis construction through recurrence analysis, convergence density, structural continuity, signal ranking, conflict resolution, and independent constraint support.
Reference applications include structural geology, basin analysis, tectonic interpretation, resource evaluation, comparative Earth-system studies, and planetary-scale geological synthesis.
The objective is to establish a repeatable methodology for translating geological observations into testable hypotheses.
Within ABC Sequencing, hypotheses are viewed as working models rather than conclusions. Their value depends upon whether they remain consistent with future observations.
The framework emphasizes falsifiability, repeatability, and measurable comparison. A hypothesis that cannot be challenged cannot be strengthened.
This paper formalizes a methodology for constructing testable geological hypotheses from recurring observations and independently supported constraints.
