The Coherence Recognition Framework
A Model of Consciousness, Perception, and Evolution
This white paper introduces the Coherence Recognition Framework, a conceptual model of consciousness that positions reality as a unified, ever-present field of intelligence.
Rather than framing development as the attainment of higher states, this framework proposes that evolution reflects increasing coherence in how reality is recognized, integrated, and expressed.
It extends beyond human experience, offering a lens for understanding intelligence across biological, ecological, artificial, and other domains.
