Moka
Gap ≈ zero. Coherence through a deliberately-chosen trivial anchor.
Selim
Coherence through a chosen service role — until the moment the doorknob opens onto the blackness.

Ameena (the shawled woman)
Presence without claim. She knows the rules because she once needed them.
Sarah Good
The system sees a lie; the scene asks what the lie is carrying.

Coherence
C = (1 - variance/max_variance) * consistency * (1 - gap/100)
Coherence Without Morality
...
Relational Coherence
relation + promise + recognition => coherence outside ideology
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.
The Gap
Δ = SUM( |professed[i] - operational[i]| * weight[i] ) / 5
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.
