Information-Guided Stress Routing in a Coherence Field

This paper develops a coherence-based theoretical framework for information-guided stress routing in structured media. Building on prior work establishing transient phase-gradient stresses and persistent solitonic structures, we show how stress can be preferentially localized, redirected, and stabilized through material geometry, defect topology, and phase coherence without violating conservation laws.The model treats stress transport as an internal redistribution process mediated by coherence fields rather than externally applied forces. Topological defects, lattice anisotropy, and solitonic pathways act as informational guides that shape stress flow and accumulation, leading to directional softening, localized plasticity, and reversible yield modulation in crystalline solids.This work provides a conservative, field-theoretic explanation for anomalous stress localization effects observed in structured materials, while remaining fully compatible with classical elasticity and standard electromechanical theory. The results extend the coherence-field program toward controlled stress routing, material memory, and information-mediated mechanical response.
