The Coherence-Decoherence-Recoherence Cycle : Convergent Evidence Across Eight Scales and Disciplines

ABSTRACTThis paper presents convergent empirical evidence that thecoherence–decoherence–recoherence (CDR) cycle — proposed as a universalorganising principle in Smith (2026c, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19030094) — isindependently documented across eight scientific disciplines, from quantum biologythrough wound healing, neural memory consolidation, ecological succession, planetaryatmospheric chemistry, and civilisational history. The evidence is presented without priortheoretical framing: a twelve-row master evidence table allows the convergence to beobserved directly before any interpretation is offered. The same three-phase structureappears in each domain with the same requirements: an energy gradient to drive…
