Abstract

Description The Universal Law of Coherence Dynamics describes constraint-based coherence behavior across organized systems. It defines the structural conditions under which coherence is preserved, degrades, or collapses, independent of domain, scale, intent, or moral judgment. The law is descriptive, falsifiable, and observer-invariant. It does not predict outcomes, infer causation, or prescribe intervention. Instead, it specifies invariant relationships between constraints, signal resolution, alignment, fragmentation, and determinate trajectory. Within this framework, coherence is bounded by internal consistency and governed by the clarity and stability of constraint signals. When constraints become unresolved or fragmented, misalignment and disorder emerge, and system trajectory becomes non-arbitrary even while specific outcomes remain uncertain. This page serves as the canonical framework reference. Foundational laws are fixed internally at their declared versions. Diagnostic instruments associated with the framework—alignment, transparency, fragmentation, internal misalignment, and trajectory—are treated as measurement tools and may evolve in operational detail without altering the law itself.
