6.2 Coherence Field Mapping — SQr and RIQ

Opening Statement

Coherence field mapping is the process of detecting, quantifying, and visualizing the structure of coherence gradients in Stillspace, allowing the spatial and phase properties of rhythmic fields to be measured.

Definition

In the Rhythmic Reality Model, coherence field mapping is achieved by measuring the stability, strength, and geometry of coherence gradients across regions of Stillspace. This is expressed using two primary metrics: SQr (Structural Coherence Quotient) and RIQ (Rhythmic Integrity Quotient).

Core Mechanics

  • SQr measures the density and uniformity of a field’s coherence gradient — higher values indicate greater resistance to phase disruption.

  • RIQ measures the degree to which a field maintains its intended phase pattern across space and time.

  • Together, SQr and RIQ provide a full profile of a field’s stability and efficiency.

  • Measurement is possible by tracking phase changes in probe rhythms introduced into the target field.

Mapping Techniques

  • Static Mapping — Recording the steady-state structure of a field.

  • Dynamic Mapping — Tracking changes in field geometry during interaction or disturbance.

  • Resonant Scanning — Using tuned probe rhythms to reveal phase distortions and interference patterns.

  • Multi-Scale Mapping — Measuring from subatomic to planetary-scale coherence fields using the same underlying principles.

Applications

  • Optimizing engineered fields for energy transfer or communication.

  • Diagnosing coherence weaknesses in biological or technological systems.

  • Studying environmental field interactions such as planetary magnetospheres.

  • Detecting incomplete or hidden structures such as dark matter coherence zones (5.5).

Implications

  • Provides a universal method for characterizing fields across all scales.

  • Enables direct comparison between natural and engineered coherence systems.

  • Supports predictive modeling of field interactions and stability.

Role in RRM

  • Links theoretical coherence principles to practical measurement and visualization.

  • Creates a standardized framework for evaluating rhythmic systems.

  • Facilitates controlled experimentation in applied rhythmic mechanics.
