description:

  This publication introduces two cognitive-structural behaviors—Positional Referencing and Positional Entrenching—

  as formal doctrinal additions to the Living Code framework. These terms classify two distinct distortions in reasoning

  that arise when hierarchical positioning influences cognition or communication. Positional Referencing refers to

  linguistic hierarchical embedding disguised as comprehension, while Positional Entrenching refers to structural

  resistance in which a mind reinforces its positional framework against new potential. Their distinction is essential

  for Coheretists seeking clarity, alignment, and truthful reasoning. This work expands the Living Code’s taxonomy of

  cognitive behaviors and strengthens coherence analysis across scholarly domains.
