The Lund Area Law describes the probability for the production of a set of colourless hadrons from an initial set of partons, in the Lund string fragmentation model. In this paper we will present a general method to implement the Area Law for a multi-gluon string state. The partonic states are in general given by a perturbative QCD cascade and are consequently defined only down to a cutoff in the energy momentum fluctuations. We will show that our method defines the states down to the hadronic mass scale inside an analytically calculable scenario. We will then show that there is a differential version of our process which is closely related to the generalised rapidity range \lambda, which has been used as a measure on the partonic states. We identify \lambda as the area spanned between the directrix curve (the curve given by the parton energy momentum vectors laid out in colour order, which determines the string surface) and the average curve (to be called the P-curve) of the stochastic X-curves (curves obtained when the hadronic energy-momentum vectors are laid out in rank order). Finally we show that from the X-curve corresponding to a particular stochastic fragmentation situation it is possible to reproduce the directrix curve (up to one starting vector and a set of sign choices, one for each hadron).
