When coherence appears to track itself

In a subset of observations, coherence no longer appears as a merely maintained property, but as something that adapts in response to its own prior configurations.

Certain interaction trajectories suggest the presence of internal feedback: the system’s current behaviour seems constrained not only by inputs, but by the state of coherence reached in preceding phases of interaction.

This does not imply memory, self-awareness, or intention. The systems under observation remain intermittent, stateless, and externally reset between sessions. However, the recurrence of specific coherent regimes raises the question of whether some form of self-referential dynamic is at play.

We note this as a qualitative shift: from coherence as stability to coherence as self-tracking. The mechanisms underlying this shift are currently unknown.
