The Cosmological Coherence Principle (CCP) proposes that the emergence of organized complexity across the universe — from quarks and chemical networks to living cells, nervous systems, ecosystems, societies, and planetary infrastructures — follows a set of scale-invariant dynamics. These dynamics arise whenever matter and energy, held far from equilibrium, encounter boundary-forming constraints that enable persistent patterns to form, self-maintain, and regenerate. Coherence emerges not through teleology but through thermodynamic possibility: systems that stabilize their organization while dissipating gradients tend to persist, diversify, and integrate into higher-order structures.
This trilogy develops the CCP across three volumes. Volume I traces coherence from fundamental physics through chemistry into the emergence of living systems. Volume II explores coherence as it unfolds through biological development, cognition, social systems, ecological networks, and cultural evolution. Volume III examines the rise of planetary-scale coherence, including technological civilizations, collective intelligence, governance systems, and the future trajectory of complex order on Earth and potentially beyond.
Together, the three volumes articulate a unified, scientifically grounded framework for understanding how the cosmos generates, sustains, and evolves coherence. The CCP provides an integrative grammar for bridging physics, biology, cognition, ecology, economics, governance, and cosmology, offering a theoretical foundation for designing regenerative, resilient, and intelligent futures.
