Primes¶
- Geometric Chronology
- Four geometric relationships, each yielding its own inference rule, recur across substrates: superposition (later sits atop earlier in a stack of deposits), cross-cutting (later interrupts or displaces earlier), inclusion (later contains pieces of earlier, so the contained is older than its container), and overprint (later overlays earlier on a shared surface, so the upper layer is younger).
This sourceOriginates the principles of superposition, original horizontality, and lateral continuity; the foundational statement that stratigraphic geometry encodes relative time, later extended by cross-cutting, inclusion (xenoliths), and unconformity (overprint) relations.

- Layered Accumulation
- Layered accumulation originates in geology as the Law of Superposition, articulated by Nicolas Steno (1669) in his De solido intra solidum naturaliter contento dissertationis prodromus and formalized across centuries of stratigraphic practice.
This sourceFlorence. Foundational geological treatise establishing the principles of superposition, original horizontality, and lateral continuity, grounding the modern concept of geological strata as ordered discrete depositional layers.

- Stack
- The geological case — sedimentary strata, oldest at the bottom — shows the structure arising in nature, with no human discipline imposing it.
This sourceEstablishes the principle of superposition: in undisturbed strata the oldest layer is at the bottom—a LIFO temporal discipline rendered spatially.
