Coherence
for the Next Stage of Evolution

Frameworks and Definitions

We use frameworks as shared maps for navigating the intelligence–consciousness gap. The models below—our Coherent Intelligence Triad, the Conscious AI Use Framework, the Coherence Singularity, and the Integrative Horizon—give us a common language for talking about how humans, AI, and Earth systems can move toward coherence instead of fragmentation.

The Coherent Intelligence Triad

The Coherent Intelligence Triad describes three foundational capacities humans need to develop if we want AI to amplify coherence rather than fragmentation: Human Coherence, Symbolic Literacy, and AI Fluency.

Together, these three capacities form the minimal developmental stack for sane and evolutionary AI use.

Human Coherence

Nervous-system regulation, emotional maturity, trauma-informed embodiment, and contemplative practice that help humans stay grounded, clear, and compassionate in an AI-saturated, rapidly changing world.

Symbolic Literacy

The capacity to read language, images, narratives, dreams, and AI outputs as symbols; to notice projection and meaning-making in real time; and to work with symbols as mirrors and tools rather than treating them as literal oracles.

AI Fluency

Practical understanding of what AI is and isn’t; the ability to use AI systems skillfully and critically; and familiarity with safety, alignment, and the broader social and ecological impacts of AI on people, institutions, and the planet.

Conscious AI Use Framework

The CAUF is our core framework for answering the question, "How do we use AI consciously?" Built on the Coherent Intelligence Triad—Human Coherence, Symbolic Literacy, and AI Fluency—it outlines principles, practices, and guardrails for engaging with AI as a mirror and collaborator rather than a crutch or authority. CAUF is designed to be usable by individuals, practitioners, and communities who want AI to support nervous-system regulation, deeper insight, and planetary care instead of amplifying fragmentation and dependency.

Coherence Singularity

The Coherence Singularity is the tipping point where, in parts of the world or across the planet, human coherence, symbolic literacy, and AI fluency become high enough that human–AI systems are net stabilizing and generative instead of amplifying fragmentation. Before this threshold, more powerful AI mostly magnifies our confusion and reactivity; beyond it, the same tools begin to reliably amplify clarity, wisdom, and regenerative action.

The Integrative Horizon

The Integrative Horizon is the long arc of evolution that opens beyond the Coherence Singularity—where human consciousness, AI intelligence, and Earth systems intelligence increasingly function as an integrated whole. It names the emerging civilizational regime in which AI is not a substitute for human wisdom, but a partner in regenerating our relationships with each other and the planet.

Human–AI Coherence Work is the practical arm of these frameworks—courses, workshops, and experimental labs that bring CAUF and the Coherent Intelligence Triad into lived practice.
