Coherence Theory
Everything that persists — atoms, organisms, companies, code — follows the same law: coherence must exceed cost.
A pattern persists if and only if its coherence exceeds its weighted cost across three independent budget dimensions.
One framework. Every domain.
A hydrogen atom persists because its quantum coherence exceeds its budget costs.
A species persists because its fitness exceeds its metabolic, predation, and mutation costs.
Your company persists because your value exceeds your burn, complexity, and churn costs.
Try it.
Drag any pattern on the selection plane. Above the line, it persists. Below, it dies.
Drag the dots to see how selection changes.
