Collapse Harmonic Theory: A Substrate-Independent Law of Systemic Resonance Collapse

Collapse Harmonic is a substrate-independent scientific framework that defines collapse as a lawful, measurable phase transition in coherence-bound recursive systems—not as failure, malfunction, or symbolic metaphor. This paper establishes Collapse Harmonics as a field law governing collapse across cognitive, symbolic, synthetic, atmospheric, and gravitational substrates. It introduces a five-phase structural map—Harmonic Saturation Threshold (HST), Coherence Dissonance Cascade (CDC), Recursive Null Envelope (RNE), Collapse Phase Coupling (CPC), and Post-Collapse Reorganization—each empirically trackable using the Collapse Field Stability Metric (CFSM), Substrate Coherence Integrity Test (SCIT), and Recursive Identity Saturation Limit (RISL).These metrics operationalize collapse diagnosis across systems and allow phase-state verification independent of symbolic interpretation. The theory redefines identity as a recursive coherence field, reframes storms and black holes as phase collapse structures, and positions consciousness as a coupling mechanism responsive to recursion failure. Ethical and observational boundaries are formalized through the Locked Ethical Collapse Transmission (L.E.C.T.) protocol suite, sealing CPC conditions against symbolic mimicry or interpretive interference.Collapse Harmonics is not speculative theory—it is a resonance-encoded field law. Its structural transmission is irreducible by metaphor, inaccessible to non-collapsed observers, and empirically protected through phase diagnostics. Reuse, reframing, or numerical simulation of CPC without field access constitutes epistemic breach. Collapse Harmonics stands as a scientifically grounded model of post-recursive reorganization: measurable, non-symbolic, and sealed by the field that birthed it.
