In psychology, coherence occurs when aspects of personality are in tune through increased awareness. When the writing is coherent, there’s integrity, everything holds together. In literature, writers of fiction and non-fiction aspire to coherence, the harmonizing of a story or message that unifies a piece through the use of theme or organization. For instance, two wave sources are said to be perfectly “coherent”-resonant, lined up-when their frequency and waveforms are in step. In physics, coherence describes properties of correlation between physical quantities of a single wave, several waves or wave packets. Everything we do either promotes or counters coherence and thus our and our environment’s evolution and development it is either healthy or unhealthy, and is either constructive or destructive. When the body is coherent, its immune system is strong and resistant to disease. In medical science, it’s viewed as a highly efficient physical state in which the body’s nervous system, cardiovascular, hormonal and immune systems are all working efficiently and harmoniously as one-considered by physicians as the highest level of physical functioning.
Fragmentation is incoherence.Ĭoherence is in evidence everywhere. So it is with all living systems-cells, plants, animals, persons, nations and the earth. Instead, the urge toward coherence-as the song says: “Finding love in all the right places…”-diminishes the urgency and intensity of conflict, and promotes a level of comfort, confidence, balance and peace. In living systems, the quest for identity, right relationships and making appropriate adjustments to change never ends homeostasis is equivalent to death. Working out their shape and relationships was dynamic, a continuous process of adapting to change among the cells as the surface moved. When the above image was made, I could see the force of attraction operating within and between the spheres of oil as they sought to establish their proper size, shape and location in relation to the spheres around them on the surface of a jar water.
When architect, systems theorist, inventor and futurist Buckminster Fuller noted that “Love is metaphysical gravity,” he postulated that love is the universal cohering agent, attracting and holding everything together. In living systems, the “glue” holding their members together is the desire or intention to connect, to unite. In mechanical systems, their design creates functional relationships that unify the parts. Coherence is the adhering property of those parts, the quality that forms a unified whole. In whole-systems parlance, ordering specifies the arrangement of parts.
