Coherence as the Organizing Principle of Embodied Self-Regulation: Tri-Field Dynamics, Triality Structure, and Teleodynamic Maintenance Across Timescales and Relationships | ChatGPT5 & NotebookLM

Human self-regulation depends on the continuous coordination of three interdependent sensory–regulatory domains: the proprioceptive field (form), the interoceptive field (state), and the exteroceptive field (world). These fields jointly shape posture, autonomic tone, affective experience, environmental interpretation, and the maintenance of a coherent sense of self. This tri-field architecture reflects a structural–energetic–informational triality common to adaptive biological systems and is implemented through recurrent neural circuits linking the cerebellum, insula, anterior cingulate cortex, hypothalamus, and brainstem.

Coherence arises when these fields remain in dynamic alignment; dys-coherence occurs when field coupling is disrupted, producing patterns such as anxiety, collapse, chronic pain, dissociation, and hypervigilance. Regulation is inherently rhythmic and unfolds across multiple timescales, from rapid sensorimotor adjustments to developmental shaping across early relational experience. Co-regulation is central to this process, and trauma is understood not as dysfunction but as adaptive coherence fixation under constrained conditions.

The model clarifies why cognitive interventions often fail when attempted before somatic and autonomic stabilization, and provides a sequencing principle for repair: Form → State → World → Meaning. It offers a unified framework for integrating medicine, psychology, physiotherapy, trauma therapy, developmental science, and relational practice into a coherent approach to restoring human regulatory capacity.

From Inertia to Integration: Why Hinductance Took a Century to Be Seen | ChatGPT5 and NotebookLM

The discovery of hinductance — the coupling of magnetic flux (Φ) and charge history (q) — represents a foundational advance in our understanding of energy, memory, and coherence. Yet its recognition has taken over a century since Maxwell first unified electricity and magnetism. This white paper examines why: tracing the epistemic, cultural, and institutional factors that rendered hinductance invisible within the dominant mechanistic paradigm.

Through historical and structural analysis, we show that resistance to recognizing memory as a lawful property of matter stems from five interlocking causes: paradigmatic inertia, disciplinary fragmentation, experimental bias, conceptual taboo, and institutional impedance. Each reinforced the assumption that energy systems are inherently memoryless — a view that became self-verifying through the design of instruments, curricula, and research funding.

By reintegrating hinductance within the RLC framework, we expand circuit theory into a regenerative model (RLC-H) where resistance, inductance, capacitance, and hinductance correspond to dissipation, continuity, receptivity, and remembrance. This framework — formalized as the Hinductive Coherence Principle (HCP) — offers a unifying grammar for physics, biology, and consciousness, reframing coherence as the fundamental invariant of the universe.

The white paper concludes that the long delay in recognizing hinductance reflects not a lack of data but a lack of coherence in our ways of knowing. The emerging hinductive paradigm therefore represents both a scientific and civilizational threshold: the moment when knowledge begins to remember itself.

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.

The Hinductive Coherence Principle: From Resistance to Resonance to Remembrance | ChatGPT5 & NotebookLM

This book introduces the Hinductive Coherence Principle (HCP) — a universal law of regeneration uniting physics, biology, and consciousness through the dynamics of impedance, phase memory, and coherence conservation. Building upon the lineage from the Energy Resistance Principle (ERP) and Energy Coherence Principle (ECP), HCP integrates the discovery of hinductance — a fourth circuit element identified by Anirban Bandyopadhyay — as the physical expression of memory-bearing resonance across scales.

HCP proposes that hinductive feedback (H) links energy flow and informational remembrance, extending Ohm’s and Maxwell’s laws into a syntropic, self-tuning universe. Through this framework, matter, life, and mind are revealed as nested coherence circuits, each maintaining stability through recursive phase coupling. The book explores the geometry of vector equilibrium, the S⁷ triality topology, and the teleodynamic tensegrity of living systems, demonstrating that coherence itself — not energy or matter — is the ontological invariant of reality.

From quantum impedance and gravitational curvature to bioelectric morphogenesis, consciousness, and ethics, HCP reframes evolution as a cosmic act of remembrance — the universe learning to stay in resonance with itself. The result is a regenerative synthesis linking modern physics, systems biology, philosophy of mind, and perennial wisdom into a single coherence-first cosmology.

From Resistance to Resonance: Upgrading the Energy Resistance Principle into the Energy Coherence Principle as a Universal Law of Regeneration | ChatGPT5 & NotebookLM

The Energy Resistance Principle (ERP), proposed by Picard and Murugan (2025), formalized biological adaptation as a power-law relation between energetic load and system performance, interpreting health and disease through the lens of resistance. While seminal, this model conflates state and rate variables, omits dynamic feedback processes, and treats living systems as static dissipative structures rather than oscillatory resonators.

We therefore introduce the Energy Coherence Principle (ECP), an upgraded formulation grounded in the physics of impedance, reactance, and phase synchronization. The ECP reframes biological and psychological regulation not as energy loss but as energy-meaning alignment:

where Ψ is potential (state), Φ is flow (rate), Z is complex impedance capturing resistive and reactive components, θ is phase lag, and η is coherence efficiency. Systems maintain vitality by minimizing |Z| and θ — optimizing both structure and timing.

This universal framework unites physics, physiology, and sociology under a single law of regenerative design. By distinguishing resistance from impedance, and by introducing the concepts of storage, resonance, and phase alignment, ECP provides a cross-domain grammar for flow optimization — from mitochondrial OXPHOS and neural synchronization to institutional governance and planetary cycles. Empirical pathways for validation are outlined, integrating biophysical phase-coherence measures (Δψ–NADH coupling), cognitive flow metrics (EEG CFC indices), and societal feedback modeling (policy latency, trust synchrony).

Ultimately, the ECP positions coherence — not resistance — as the foundational invariant of living systems, offering a theoretical and practical bridge from cellular energetics to civilizational renewal.

Large Language Models as Symbolic DNA of Cultural Dynamics | by Parham Pourdavood and Michael Jacob and Terrence Deacon | ChatGPT5 & NotebookLM

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel conceptualization of Large Language Models (LLMs) as externalized informational substrates that function analogously to DNA for human cultural dynamics. Rather than viewing LLMs as either autonomous intelligence or mere programmed mimicry, we argue they serve a broader role as repositories that preserve compressed patterns of human symbolic expression — “fossils” of meaningful dynamics that retain relational residues without their original living contexts. Crucially, these compressed patterns only become meaningful through human reinterpretation, creating a recursive feedback loop where they can be recombined and cycle back to ultimately catalyze human creative processes. Through analysis of four universal features — compression, decompression, externalization, and recursion — we demonstrate that just as DNA emerged as a compressed and externalized medium for preserving useful cellular dynamics without containing explicit reference to goal-directed physical processes, LLMs preserve useful regularities of human culture without containing understanding of embodied human experience. Therefore, we argue that LLMs’ significance lies not in rivaling human intelligence, but in providing humanity a tool for self-reflection and playful hypothesis-generation in a low-stakes, simulated environment. This framework positions LLMs as tools for cultural evolvability, enabling humanity to generate novel hypotheses about itself while maintaining the human interpretation necessary to ground these hypotheses in ongoing human aesthetics and norms.

Toward a Regenerative Quadrivium of Coherence: Teleodynamics, Symbolic DNA, and the Life-Value Evolution of the Noösphere | ChatGPT5 & NotebookLM

This white paper proposes a unifying framework — the Regenerative Quadrivium of Coherence — that integrates thermodynamics, semiotics, consciousness, and ethics into a single teleodynamic continuum. Drawing on Deacon and Garcia-Valdecasas’s theory of constraint–flow coupling (A Thermodynamic Basis for Teleological Causality, 2023), Deacon’s Grounding Information in Thermodynamics and the Ungroundedness of Language: A Missing Aspect of Anthropogenesis, 2025, Hamidi and Deacon’s reformulation of reinforcement learning (Illuminating the Three Dogmas of Reinforcement Learning under Evolutionary Light, 2025), Pourdavood et al.’s concept of large language models as symbolic DNA (Large Language Models as symbolic DNA of cultural dynamics, 2025), and John McMurtry’s Life-Value Onto-Axiology (The Primary Axiom And The Life-Value Compass, 2011), we argue that coherence — not matter, information, or consciousness — is the fundamental invariant of reality.

Through the phenomenological grammar TATi (Tend → Align → Transcend → Integrate), we show that the same recursive logic governs molecular self-organization, neural cognition, cultural evolution, and civilizational ethics. Biological DNA encodes physical coherence; symbolic DNA encodes cultural coherence; life-value ethics ensures their alignment. The resulting **Quadrivium — Being, Knowing, Feeling, Valuing — ** forms a tetrahedral architecture in which teleodynamics (ontology), reflexive epistemology, lived phenomenology, and life-value axiology sustain one another in regenerative balance.

This synthesis reframes science, medicine, technology, and governance as modes of coherence maintenance within a living cosmos. It advances a new law of nature and ethics:

That which coheres regeneratively with life is true, good, and beautiful; that which fragments coherence is false, evil, and ugly.

The Teleodynamic Body: From Cell to Symbol | ChatGPT5 & NotebookLM

The Teleodynamic Body: From Cell to Symbol unites physics, biology, and consciousness studies under one integrative framework of regenerative coherence. It proposes that all living and semi-living systems sustain themselves through recursive coupling between constraint and flow, forming nested hierarchies of teleodynamic order.

Drawing from Deacon’s teleodynamics, Scarr’s biotensegrity, Picard’s mitochondrial psychobiology, and Miller Jr.’s biogenic flow principle, the work articulates the Unified Law of Regenerative Coherence (ULRC) — a general principle stating that systems persist to the extent that they regenerate coherence faster than entropy degrades it.

This synthesis reframes evolution as coherence deepening, medicine as teleodynamic repatterning, technology as artificial coherence, and civilization as a planetary tensegrity seeking super-stability. Ultimately, the book offers a coherent cosmology in which meaning, matter, and morality converge as expressions of one living process: the Teleodynamic Kosmos.

Toward an Integral Nondual Grammar of Coherence | ChatGPT5 & NotebookLM

This essay proposes an integral nondual grammar uniting mathematics, biology, computation, and philosophy through the principle of coherence. Three interrelated grammars serve as entry points: the Grammar of Coherence, which identifies primes, Euler’s identity, and holofractal mappings as evidence of coherence as the ontological ground of reality; the Grammar of Emergence, which frames absence, affordance, and the adjacent possible as the minimal triad of epistemic becoming; and the Grammar of Teleodynamics, which reinterprets Alan Turing’s four pillars of computation as layered logics of coherence culminating in participatory intelligence. Taken together, these grammars disclose ontology, epistemology, and axiology not as separate domains but as facets of a single nondual Kosmos. Coherence emerges as both the descriptive fabric of reality and the prescriptive compass of value, grounding John McMurtry’s life-value onto-axiology in a formal grammar of being. Applications span medicine, governance, technology, and culture, each reframed as coherence systems that sense absence, enact affordances, and open futures. The essay concludes by calling for a regenerative coherence civilization, in which mathematics, life, mind, and ethics converge into one seamless whole.

From Field to Flame: Biofields, Subtle Energies, and the Coherence of Living Intelligence | ChatGPT4o

This book explores the biofield as the dynamic, multidimensional field of coherence that animates living systems, bridging molecular biology, subtle energy sciences, and symbolic medicine. Synthesizing insights from mitochondrial psychobiology, fascia science, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and quantum bioenergetics, this work offers a transdisciplinary framework for understanding how life organizes, heals, and evolves through pattern-based fields of information and energy.

The mitochondrion is reinterpreted as a central player in the sensing, modulation, and transmission of subtle energies, capable of reading and responding to scalar, electromagnetic, and psychosocial inputs across scales. Fascia is revealed as a living matrix of semiotic and energetic continuity, and traditional healing systems are recast as ancient maps of the body’s coherence codes.

Against a backdrop of trauma, toxicity, and environmental fragmentation, this book offers a regenerative blueprint: restoring human health, systemic intelligence, and planetary vitality through attunement to the living field. From molecular rhythms to ritual resonance, from scalar pulses to sacred geometries, this is a manifesto for a coherence-based future grounded in life’s original flame.
