LAW

Coherence

C = (1 - variance/max_variance) * consistency * (1 - gap/100)

LAW

Coherence Without Morality

...

LAW

Relational Coherence

relation + promise + recognition => coherence outside ideology

LAW

Fracture

The collapse of a self-pattern when contradiction, trauma, or hostile pressure makes the shape unable to carry itself. Engineers model it as entering a critical coherence band, not crossing a universal number. A fractured being can be temporarily stabilized by a Shepherd, but stabilization is not a cure.

LAW

The Gap

Δ = SUM( |professed[i] - operational[i]| * weight[i] ) / 5

LAW

Belief Energy

The usable work of coherence inside the Mist. It maintains shelter, bodies, regions, and large apparatus. Historical diving does not mine dead facts; it lenses moments of collective certainty and extracts usable pattern-pressure. Predators appear to feed, but locally they are passive decoherence wells sustained by infall.
