Law of Signal Resolution

Description The Law of Signal Resolution states that organized systems stabilize when constraints are clear, interpretable, and consistently resolved, and destabilize when constraint signals are ambiguous, contradictory, or unstable. This law governs the informational conditions under which coordination, alignment, and intervention can function coherently. The law is descriptive, falsifiable, and observer-invariant. It does not predict outcomes, assign causation, infer intent, or prescribe action. It defines a necessary condition for coherence by specifying when constraint signals can be reliably interpreted by system participants. Signal resolution operates upstream of alignment and fragmentation diagnostics. Low signal resolution increases confusion and amplifies downstream misalignment and disorder, regardless of enforcement strength or sincerity of intent. High signal resolution is a prerequisite for stable constraint propagation but does not guarantee favorable outcomes. This law is a foundational component of the Universal Law of Coherence Dynamics framework. Its claims are fixed at v1.0; subsequent refinements must be released as explicitly versioned successors.
