| contents | <p>This paper presents an ontological hypothesis that reconceives the world not as a physically evolving universe but as a static structure that is coherent all at once. We adopt the following as the foundational axiom: Existence = Coherence / Non-existence = Incoherence. Under this hypothesis, existence is coherence itself, and incoherent structures cannot exist. We further define: “The present is the terminal boundary of the record-state retained by local structure.” From this standpoint, we explain the conscious experience of ‘now always being the latest moment’ and the sensation of time’s passage through a thought experiment involving multiple fully-reproduced brains. Additionally, this paper presents physical phenomena that Coherence Cosmology explains more parsimoniously than dynamic universe theories, including quantum entanglement, the delayed-choice experiment, CPT symmetry, Bell inequality violations, and the upper limit of the speed of light. This paper shares its core concerns with Julian Barbour’s timeless universe and Max Tegmark’s Mathematical Universe Hypothesis, but takes an independent position in: (1) adopting coherence as the necessary and sufficient condition for existence as an axiom, and (2) defining ‘the present’ as the terminal boundary of a local record-state. This paper is published as the philosophical foundation of Coherence Cosmology, not as a completed physical theory.</p> |
