Unified Coherence–Entropy Collapse (QCE)

Canonical citation: Cite the concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18347629 for the record (all versions). When citing a specific snapshot, cite that version DOI (e.g., v1: 10.5281/zenodo.18347630; v2.0: 10.5281/zenodo.18363451). No patent license is granted.

Any reference to external archival materials or Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) is provided solely for non-binding scholarly context and recordkeeping. No such materials are incorporated by reference or relied upon for written description, enablement, or claim interpretation. Patent rights, if any, are determined exclusively by the present application.

This Zenodo record is structured as an archival scientific artifact rather than an enabling disclosure. The concept DOI identifies the record across versions, while snapshot DOIs exist solely for immutable versioning and citation accuracy. All materials are referential and definitional in scope, explicitly separated from implementation, device schematics, or commercial systems. Snapshot DOIs do not alter priority, inventorship, or patent claim scope, and no patent license is granted. The intent is to support transparent scholarly citation, independent falsification, and institutional replication planning without expanding or construing any patent application.

Snapshot DOIs reflect archival versioning only and do not alter priority, inventorship, or claim scope.

This record does not constitute a dedication to the public domain.

This upload provides three integration documents for the Unified Coherence–Entropy Collapse (QCE) scientific record:
(1) Backward Integration Ledger (External Prior Art): a citation-hygiene ledger mapping pre-existing literature and standards relevant to coherence, entropy, measurement dynamics, and validation instrumentation;
(2) Field-Definition Monograph: a structured, chaptered field scaffold that partitions testable endpoints (Tier 1) from interpretive mechanisms (Tier 2);
(3) Falsification Challenge Brief: explicit disproof criteria, failure modes, and replication requirements designed for third-party evaluation.

This upload does not disclose an implementation, device schematics, or a commercial system. It is intended to support academic review, independent third-party replication, planning, and rigorous scoping of novelty boundaries relative to prior art.
