Topological Protection as the Organizing Principle of Threshold-Gated Regulation: From Quantum Integers to Macroscopic Coherence (CMF Paper 3)
The Coherence Maintenance Framework (CMF), established in Papers 1 and 2, demonstrates that threshold-gated regulatory architecture is a universal feature of driven non-linear systems across 29 orders of magnitude in scale. While R_mode = f_pert * tau_relax quantitatively categorizes regulatory dynamics into discrete o...
