Abstract
This document is Part II of the Coherence Geometry Foundations working reference text. It develops physical projections of the mathematical framework introduced in Part I.
Part II examines how quantum-like linear dynamics, causal and relativistic structure, residual coherence strain and cosmological background terms, electromagnetic field structure, thermodynamic behavior, and macroscopic transport can be represented as domain-level projections of the shared-amplitude, multi-phase coherence framework.

Summary and Notes
Scope:
This volume develops the first broad physical projection layer of Coherence Geometry (CG). It builds on the internal algebraic and structural framework introduced in Coherence Geometry Foundations, Part I: Orientation, Closure, and Algebraic Foundations.
The projections presented here are working derivations and interpretive structures. They are intended to make the physical projection program publicly inspectable, citable, usable, and open to correction or extension. Later versions and related research papers may refine notation, assumptions, normalizations, derivations, examples, and domain-specific applications.
Version note:
Version 0.2 corrects the normalization of the electromagnetic energy-flux relation, clarifies the distinction between microscopic metric emergence and macroscopic Einstein closure, strengthens the derivation of equilibrium weighting and temperature from coherence projection, and introduces a general framework for entropy associated with boundary-restricted projections.
Release purpose:
This revision updates the physical projection reference while preserving the overall structure and role of Part II. The volume remains a working reference text intended to make the Coherence Geometry physical projection framework publicly inspectable, citable, usable, and open to correction or extension.
