The 5 Pillars of Grace: A Formal Architecture for Recursive Reflective Coherence
Abstract
Introduces the ΨC (Psi-Coherence) Principle, a computational framework for modeling reflective intelligence as a dynamical system driven by entropy-aware coherence accumulation. The framework is structured around five interconnected mechanisms—Entropy-Governed Coherence Accumulation, Contradiction-Driven Reflection, Adaptive Bias Correction, Active Information Seeking, and Networked Coherence—that collectively enable stable, adaptive, reflective coherence under bounded information and memory constraints. Formal convergence to coherence-optimal states is proven with sublinear regret bounds, yielding falsifiable predictions including sigmoidal phase transitions in reflective behavior.
