1. Canon Definition

Coherence is the preservation of identity, meaning, and functional integrity across time under transformation.

Coherence is the root validator of all principles.

2. UTS Function

Coherence:

• determines whether principle equations hold
• distinguishes true stability from pseudo-stability
• validates identity, intention, memory, and restoration

3. Operator Signature

Coherence is not one operator.

It is the state outcome across S.

4. Inversion

Coherence✕ appears as:

• false order
• compliance mistaken for alignment
• local stability with exported harm
• pseudo-coherent basins

Entry Closure

Coherence is the preservation of identity, meaning, and functional integrity across time under transformation.
