These calculations are presented as exploratory realizations of the framework rather than as claims of term-by-term physical equivalence with every mechanism of classical Navier\u2013Stokes dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The September 2026 revision preserves the original numerical investigations while clarifying their interpretation and their relationship to the completed coherence-geometric fluid formulation developed in subsequent work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Available Document<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DOI:<\/strong>&nbsp;<code><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5281\/zenodo.23043221\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">10.5281\/zenodo.23043221<\/a><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Citation:<\/strong><br>Petersen, B.

The numerical examples demonstrate that coupled coherence fields can organize rotational and transport structures resembling fluid-dynamical phenomena without requiring every model component to be identified term-by-term with a conventional Navier\u2013Stokes mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The computational investigations include interacting vortex configurations, rotational structures mediated by ripple-like fields, filamentary evolution, and amplitude-weighted vortex-street behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These examples are exploratory realizations of the framework. They should not be interpreted as establishing complete physical equivalence between the early computational model and classical fluid dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The September 2026 revision therefore serves two purposes: it preserves the original constructive experiments and places them within the more mature Source-level and projection-based understanding of fluid dynamics subsequently developed in Coherence Geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the larger research program, the paper provides an important historical bridge between early constructive fluid experiments and the later mathematical treatment of Source current, exterior curvature, projection, transport, viscosity, and observable fluid realization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Foundational framework:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Petersen, B.
