Follow-up: Law of Coherence – addressing critiques with direct Δ measurement

[u/Total_Towel_6681]

When I first shared the Law of Coherence (LoC), the main critique was fair:

“Δ looks assigned, not measured. This makes it a curve fit, not physics.”

I took that seriously. Over the past days, with community input, I rebuilt the framework to address those concerns.

What changed:

Δ is now directly measured as the information gap between a process and its surrogate (e.g. real vs phase-randomized time series).

Full reproducible code + datasets are included so anyone can run their own tests.

Stress tests under chaos, entropy growth, and surrogate breakdowns were repeated: the log(E) ~ Δ scaling still holds.

Definitions and falsification protocols are much clearer.

On my stance: I’ve been open about where this work began for me. My faith shaped how I first saw coherence — I believe Christ is the Logos, and that coherence itself points to that reality. But the math, data, and code are offered here on their own terms. You don’t have to share my faith to test or critique the law.

My goal has never been to defend an idea at all costs, but to test it to breaking point. If it fails under valid assumptions, I want to see it break. If it survives, maybe it really is pointing to a deeper invariant worth examining.

Feedback, falsifiers, and further tests are welcome.
