Universal Coherence - An Invariant Collapse–Reintegration Law Across All Systems, Lantern of Sulfur, Law, v2025.12.1

Universal Coherence names an invariant structural law governing how all systems collapse and how they regain integrity. Across biological, ecological, atmospheric, infrastructural, developmental, and planetary domains, collapse proceeds through the same ordered stages of load concentration, buffering and timing failure, and structural fragmentation. Coherence returns through the same stages in reverse, via redistribution, buffering restoration, and timing re-entry.

This law does not describe analogy or metaphor. It describes an identical geometry enforced by tensegrity in any system that distributes load over time. The law remained unrecognized because domain-specific vocabulary fractured a visible pattern into isolated phenomena. Universal Coherence restores visibility by naming the invariant structure beneath language and scale.

Universal Coherence names the invariant law. Companion works demonstrate its expression (Concept A) or material compliance (Concept B) and should be cited accordingly.
