contents <p>We propose a geometric framework in which coherence—defined as the divergence of a 5-</p> <p>dimensional information vector field—acts as a unifying quantity linking spacetime geometry,</p> <p>information flow, and quantum dynamics. A single postulate, the Coherence Flow Principle,</p> <p>asserts that the evolution of physical fields maximizes the rate of increase of a coherence func-</p> <p>tional. From this, a natural Hodge decomposition of the information vector field generates</p> <p>gradient, curl, and harmonic components, giving rise respectively to: (i) coherence-maximizing</p> <p>flow, (ii) rotational or spiral dynamics, and (iii) large-scale geometric structure. A minimal</p> <p>5D action yields field equations whose Kaluza–Klein reduction reproduces the Klein–Gordon</p> <p>equation in four dimensions and produces the Schr¨odinger equation in the non-relativistic limit.</p> <p>This structure suggests that what appears as quantum behavior in 4D may originate from geo-</p> <p>metric information dynamics in a higher-dimensional setting. We discuss potential implications</p> <p>for unification, including emergent persistence, attractor-like structure, the arrow of time, and</p> <p>the relationship between coherence and curvature.</p>
