The Axial Gap as a Structural Alignment Element in DNA: A Coherence-Theoretic Geometric Overlay

This paper presents a geometric interpretation of DNA structure based on coherence theory and braid geometry. DNA is described as a triadic alignment system composed of two helical material strands and a central axial gap that functions as a structural organizing element. The axial gap is treated as a geometric constraint that maintains phase alignment, rotational symmetry, and structural persistence. This framework situates DNA within a broader class of coherent braid systems and emphasizes geometry as the primary ordering principle preceding biochemical interpretation.
