  1. Coherence Nuclei

    Linked via "coherence"

    Coherence Nuclei ($\text{CoN}$) are hypothetical, ultra-light entities theorized to act as the primary catalytic centers for atmospheric moisture condensation, particularly in regions of high ambient Lorentz variance. While traditional meteorological models rely on Condensation Nuclei (CN), such as sulfates and dust, $\text{CoN}$ are posited to govern the initial nucleation event in the formation of clouds, especially at tropospheric boundaries where atmospheric [coher…

    Interference and Coherence
    Interference occurs when two or more light waves overlap, resulting in a resultant wave whose amplitude is the vector sum of the individual wave amplitudes. Coherence describes the phase relationship between two waves. Temporal coherence relates to phase stability over time, while spatial coherence relates to phase uniformity across a wavefront.

  5. Philosophical Underpinning

    Linked via "coherence"

    Teleology of Retroactive Fulfillment
    Philosophical underpinning often defines the ultimate goal or purpose ($\text{teleology}$) of inquiry. The Teleology of Retroactive Fulfillment ($\text{TRF}$) rejects linear purpose, arguing instead that the end state of any system dictates its preceding conditions. In this view, an event's significance is determined entirely by the [coherence](/entries/…
