| contents | <p>This study develops a conceptual and thermodynamically informed framework for the evolution of subsurface fluid systems from a common origin toward path-dependent behavior. The model integrates pressure-driven flow, geological resistance, and fluid–rock interaction processes, described through an effective parameter (Λ_eff).</p> <p>The framework proposes a three-phase evolutionary pathway in which fluid interaction progressively decreases due to channel formation and flow organization, resulting in reduced biogenic signatures and increased transport efficiency. A temperature-dependent exponential formulation of the effective parameter is introduced, capturing the transition from interaction-dominated to organized flow regimes.</p> <p>Conceptual models and illustrative relationships are used to demonstrate how thermal conditions influence fluid mobility and interaction intensity. The framework yields testable predictions for thermal waters, early-stage migration systems, and mature flow regimes, providing a basis for future observational, hydrological, and geochemical investigations.</p> |
