Abstract<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This paper develops a coherence-geometric reactive-field model in which self-sustained fire-like and phase-transition-like behavior arises from a common coupled amplitude, thermal, and phase architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The construction combines diffusion, activation, saturation, phase coupling, thermal feedback, curvature-driven redistribution, and optional fluid-active transport. Phase-driven coherence flux may redistribute reactive amplitude without requiring material velocity as a primitive variable, while stronger transport regimes may additionally retain an explicit velocity sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numerical investigations demonstrate several qualitatively distinct regimes within the same framework, including a diffusive firefall transient, persistent laminar-like plume formation, high-intensity flickering or turbulent-like behavior, and nucleation-dominated phase-transition-like dynamics involving the formation, growth, interaction, and coalescence of bubble-like domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the later coherence-geometric interpretation, these regimes correspond to different balances among curvature-driven amplitude relaxation (CDAR), curvature-driven activation dynamics (CDAD), and curvature-driven transport (CDT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work is presented as a qualitative generative investigation of reactive and fluid-like organization rather than as a predictive combustion model or engineering fluid simulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
