Foundation Papers

This section collects the foundational technical papers of Coherence Geometry.

These papers develop the core mathematical constructions behind the framework, including multi-phase structure, coherence formation, constrained refinement, basin stability, and related foundational mechanisms. They provide the technical background for the canonical definitions, demonstrations, research papers, and applied projections presented elsewhere on this site.

The Foundation Papers are distinct from the Canonical Foundations. The canons fix terminology, definitions, and named results. The foundation papers develop the mathematical constructions and arguments from which those canons and later applications arise. Readers looking for the current terminology should consult the Canonical Foundations alongside these papers, since some foundational documents may reflect earlier stages in the development of CG notation or presentation.

Each entry below links to a versioned public record, usually hosted on Zenodo, together with a short description of its role in the framework.
