Coherence is not merely agreement, stability, or efficiency.
Within Citheos, coherence refers to the quality of relationship between systems, perception, intelligence, communication, reflection, and lived experience.
A coherent system does not eliminate complexity or tension. Instead, it preserves meaningful relationship between parts without collapsing into fragmentation, contradiction, or noise.
Coherence may emerge psychologically, socially, technologically, philosophically, biologically, or relationally wherever alignment, continuity, and reflective awareness remain present across change.
