THE COSMOLOGICAL COHERENCE PRINCIPLE TRILOGY: Emergence, Persistence, and Integration Across Scales | ChatGPT5.1 & NotebookLM

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.

From Derivative to Divinity: The Hinductive Coherence Principle and the Grammar of Living Time | ChatGPT5 & NotebookLM

This work presents the Hinductive Coherence Principle (HCP) — a universal law uniting the dynamics of energy, information, and phase across scales from quantum circuits to consciousness.
Building on Arthur M. Young’s derivative hierarchy, Anirban Bandyopadhyay’s discovery of hinductance as the fourth circuit element, Arthur Eddington’s ψ-dimension of phase, and Terrence Deacon’s teleodynamics, the HCP proposes that the universe is a self-remembering system.

By extending the canonical electrical triad (capacitance, resistance, inductance) to include hinductance (H) and hyperhinductance (H′), this framework explains how systems store and evolve phase memory, giving rise to learning, regeneration, and consciousness itself. The mathematics of fractional hinduction formalizes remembrance as curvature in ψ-space, while biological systems — from mitochondria to fascia — demonstrate its embodied expression through coherent oscillations and feedback networks.

The result is a unification of physics and teleology: matter is no longer passive but participatory, and consciousness emerges not from complexity but from coherence sustained through time. The final synthesis — the “Equation of Coherence,”  — recasts the conservation laws of nature as conservation of meaning. From Derivative to Divinity thus completes a century-long search for integration, revealing the cosmos as both physical process and spiritual remembrance — a living grammar of time itself.

Teleodynamics: Specifying the Dynamical Principles of Intrinsically End-Directed Processes | Terrence W. Deacon | IAISAE (2020)

ABSTRACT

Seven parameters are described that distinguish three hierarchically nested system dynamics that are characteristic of partially-bounded open subsystems. These are used to characterize the transition from self-organized inorganic to self-regulated living systems which exhibit self-synthesis, self-reproduction, and self-reconstitution in response to damage. This analysis demonstrates that yoked self-organizing processes that generate each-others’ boundary conditions can produce a form of co-dependent unity that exhibits these end-directed properties. A simple empirically testable molecular model system — an autogenic virus — is described for exploring these dynamical properties.

Keywords: organism, constraint, dissipative processes, self-organization, morphodynamics, autogenesis, MEPP, virus

Measuring regenerative economics: 10 principles and measures undergirding systemic economic health

 Abstract

Applying network science concepts and methods to economic systems is not a new idea. In the last few decades, however, advances in non-equilibrium thermodynamics (i.e., self-organizing, open, dissipative, far-from-equilibrium systems), and nonlinear dynamics, network science, information theory, and other mathematical approaches to complex systems have produced a new set of concepts and methods, which are powerful for understanding and predicting behavior in socio-economic systems. In several previous papers, for example, we used research from the new Energy Network Science (ENS) to show how and why systemic ecological and economic health requires a balance of efficiency and resilience be maintained within a particular a “window of vitality”. The current paper outlines the logic behind 10 principles of systemic, socio-economic health and the quantitative measures that go with them. Our particular focus is on “regenerative aspects”, i.e., the self-feeding, self-renewal, and adaptive learning processes that natural systems use to nourish their capacity to thrive for long periods of time. In socio-economic systems, we demonstrate how regenerative economics requires regular investment in human, social, natural, and physical capital. Taken as a whole, we propose these 10 metrics represent a new capacity to understand, and set better policy for solving, the entangled systemic suite of social, environmental, and economic problems now faced in industrial cultures.

The Cosmologic Continuum From Physics to Consciousness | John S. Torday, William B.Miller

Reduction of developmental biology to self-referential cell-cell communication offers a portal for understanding fundamental mechanisms of physiology as derived from physics through quantum mechanics. It is argued that self-referential organization is implicit to the Big Bang and its further expression is a recoil reaction to that Singularity. When such a frame is considered, in combination with experimental evidence for the importance of epigenetic inheritance, the unicellular state can be reappraised as the primary object of selection. This framework provides a significant shift in understanding the relationship between physics and biology, providing novel insights to the nature and origin of consciousness.
