A technical analysis of the geological algorithm of Abuali ibni Sino (Avicenna), deconstructing orogeny, sedimentology, and materials engineering. The paper documents his pioneering conceptualization of plate tectonics (uplift vs. erosion) and a mineral systematics based on physicochemical properties rather than alchemical transmutation. A central focus is the analysis of anomalous matter ("cosmic glaze") and impactites, grounded in the failed thermal reduction of the Juzjan meteorite. This study demonstrates the existence of an advanced geochemical research protocol in 11th-century Tajikistan, predating modern physical geology.
