Coherence as the Primary Structure of Reality: A Vector-Based Framework for Space, Perception, and Embodiment

Reality expresses itself through coherence. Across physics, biology, perception, and consciousness, coherent vector relationships organize space, stabilize form, and allow experience to arise. This paper presents coherence as the primary structural principle underlying physical reality. Space is described as a relational vector field whose stability precedes matter, energy, and form. Perception, embodiment, and biological life emerge as coherent expressions of this field. This framework provides a unified language capable of describing systems from cosmology to nervous-system regulation without fragmentation. coherence theory, vector space, relational geometry, phase alignment, coherent fields, space structure, perception mechanics, biological coherence, consciousness framework, phase stability, relational physics, emergent matter, time as phase, awareness field, neural coherence, carbon lattice, mineral conductivity, holographic space, field dynamics, systems coherence, adaptive stability, vector relations, embodied perception, morphogenetic fields, phase geometry, coherent organization, self-stabilizing systems, relational reality, unified framework, field awareness, continuity principle, harmonic structure, spatial coherence, experiential geometry, life as coherence, nervous system alignment, perception sampling, phase progression, relational time, field embodiment, coherence dynamics, structural stability, universal relations, integrative science, geometric coherence, foundational theory
