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.

Mechanisms¶
- Core Sample Logging Protocol
- Drilling can smear, stretch, or "flow-in" material, and soft or soluble layers are preferentially lost, so a naive reader may treat a drilling artefact as a real deposit or read logged depth as if it were undistorted original position — a mistake the principle of superposition only licenses for undisturbed strata.
This sourceLimits application of the principle of superposition to undisturbed strata.

- Stratigraphic Section Diagram
- The relevant discipline is Steno's principle of original horizontality: layers are deposited flat, so tilted or folded beds are a warning that way-up must be established from sedimentary indicators before order is trusted.
This sourceStates Steno’s principle of original horizontality: sedimentary strata are initially deposited horizontally or nearly horizontally.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 6 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
