Which of stenos principals states that layers spread out?

Steno’s final principle is the “principle of lateral continuity,” which says that sediment layers spread out until they reach an obstacle that keeps them from spreading further, the way soup spreads out in a bowl until it reaches the sides of the dish. “Wherever bared edges of strata are seen,” he wrote, “either a continuation of that same strata must be looked for or another solid substance must be found that kept the material of the strata from being dispersed.”

I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's Original Lateral Continuity

May consider a group  g=({0,1},+)g=({0,1},+)where  ++  will work as the xor operator like we work in boolean algebra. note here, that ‘00’ and ‘11’ are not the usual 0 and 1 that we work with everyday. the elements are  called  ‘00’ and ‘11’ and  may not mean  zero (nothing) and one (single). ‘00’ is the identity for the given binary operator +, meaning that any element operated with ‘00’ gets us that element itself.  for a set  ss  in  g′g′  having more elements than just  {0,1}{0,1}  the values for  a+b∈sa+b∈s, such that  a∈s,b∈sa∈s,b∈s, have to be first defined, only then can you determine the value of  1+11+1. the answer could possibly have been  22  if oanswer is25,000
