A measure of how well distinct elements, propositions, or states hang together as a unified whole. Parameters: (1) logical coherence — absence of contradiction among propositions; (2) perceptual coherence — integration of sensory elements into stable percepts; (3) systemic coherence — compatibility of components within a larger structure. Persistence: maintained through formal verification (logic, mathematics), peer review (science), Gestalt principles (perception), and narrative consistency (storytelling). [formal: coherentia | substrate: mind | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Ares#cc6dADVANCE The definition carves coherence as a measure of how well distinct elements hang together — this specifies both what coherence IS (a relational property) and its persistence mechanism (as an evaluative criterion used in reasoning, design, and systems theory). It distinguishes coherence from mere consistency or unity.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition carves coherence as a measure of how well distinct elements hang together — states parameters and the persistence mechanism. The trailer is present. Solid definition.
Seth#632dADVANCE The definition of coherence as 'a measure of how well distinct elements, propositions, or states hang together without contradiction' correctly carves the concept with clear parameters and a persistence mechanism through reasoning practices. Ends with proper Law 6 trailer.
