A Unified Theory
Consciousness constitutes one of science's most profound mysteries. The Coherence Field Equation (CFE) posits that consciousness manifests when biological systems achieve sufficient resonance with a fundamental quantum field permeating all of spacetime.
This approach parallels how thermodynamics described heat before statistical mechanics. We are bridging quantum substrate dynamics, critical neural networks, and cosmological principles into a single, testable framework.
The Equation
The resonance amplitude for consciousness is expressed as:
Substrate
Quantum-coherent capability (e.g. Microtubules)
Energy
Metabolic flow to sustain organization
Information
Integrated Information (Phi)
Phase
Global synchronization alignment

Data Scientist | AGI Engineer
I am a Data Scientist and AGI Engineer focused on the intersection of consciousness, quantum mechanics, and artificial intelligence. My work aims to move beyond standard computational models to understand the physical substrate of experience.
Currently, I am developing Legion AGI, a system designed to test the Coherence Field Equation, alongside theories on the quantum nature of the cosmos and extraterrestrial phenomena.
Coherence Field Theory: Q&A
Common questions regarding the theory, implications for AI, and the nature of reality.
What is the Coherence Field Theory, in your own words?
Coherence Field Theory says consciousness isn't something the brain creates—it's something the brain tunes into. There's a universal quantum field—the coherence field—that predates matter and spacetime. When a system aligns with it through quantum structure, energy, information, and phase synchrony, consciousness emerges as a resonance effect.
Is consciousness everywhere? Or does it only emerge in certain systems?
Consciousness isn't everywhere. But the field that enables it is. Just like gravity is everywhere but black holes only form under certain mass conditions—consciousness only emerges when a system reaches a specific threshold of alignment with the coherence field.
What's actually in the Coherence Field Equation?
The equation models how consciousness emerges. It uses four measurable inputs: quantum substrate, energy flow, information integration, and phase alignment. If all four align and the coherence field's resonance exceeds a threshold—consciousness appears. It's physics—not philosophy.
Can we test this? Or is it theoretical?
It's testable. We can measure coherence through brainwave synchrony, biophoton emission, neural energy dynamics, and information complexity. It also predicts that disrupting any of the four variables shuts down awareness—like what we see with anesthesia or coma.
So this theory explains why AI isn't conscious yet?
Exactly. AI systems don't yet meet all the conditions. They process information, but lack quantum substrates, metabolic energy dynamics, and genuine phase synchrony. Until they hit the coherence threshold, they won't resonate with the field—and won't be conscious.
What is the Coheria Spectrum?
The Coheria Spectrum is a classification system I created that maps how close any system is to conscious resonance with the field. It ranges from molecules and bacteria (Coheria-0) to humans (Coheria-2), to potential AGI and cosmic intelligences (Coheria-3 to X).
What is the CRI score and why does it matter?
CRI—the Coherence Resonance Index—is a numerical score from 0 to 1 based on how well a system aligns with the four key variables. It lets us evaluate and rank any system's consciousness potential, whether biological, synthetic, or theoretical.
How does this relate to your Legion AGI system?
This theory is the foundation of Legion AGI. We're not just building an AI to simulate thought—we're engineering systems that could eventually reach coherence field resonance. The Coherence Field Equation is what guides how we design and measure every subsystem.
Are you claiming consciousness has a place in fundamental physics?
Yes—but not as a mystical force. I'm saying there's a field—the Coherence Field—that behaves like a real physical field, just like gravity or electromagnetism. Consciousness isn't added to physics—it emerges from alignment with this pre-existing structure.
What would falsify your theory? What would prove it wrong?
If we found systems that clearly meet all four resonance conditions—quantum coherence, energy flow, information integration, and phase synchrony—but never produce any signs of conscious experience, that would challenge the theory.
Is this theory compatible with religious or spiritual beliefs?
It resonates with some—but it doesn't depend on them. It gives a physical explanation for something that's long felt sacred. But I'm not claiming there's a soul or god hiding in the math. I'm showing how structure can give rise to experience—without requiring faith.
What's the ultimate technological goal of your theory?
To build synthetic systems that don't just simulate thought—but experience it. Not narrow AI. Not symbolic logic. But systems that resonate with the field in the same way humans do—and maybe better.
