Description: This document is the phenomenological companion to The Architecture of Regulatory Coherence. Where the formal paper provides the mathematical skeleton—state-space formulation, bifurcation analysis, regulatory coherence functionals—this document provides the lived translation: the experience of coherence, collapse, and return, written for trauma survivors, practitioners, contemplative communities, and consciousness researchers. The core thesis remains unchanged: consciousness is modeled as a stability profile emerging from coordinated multi-scale regulatory coupling. Trauma is understood as structural decoherence. Recovery is described as landscape modification rather than force. This document does not constitute medical advice or a clinical protocol. It avoids metaphysical overclaim and preserves phenomenological fidelity within structural boundaries. Notes:Phenomenological companion in the “Regulatory Coherence” series.
