Beyond the Quantum-Cosmology Divide - A Position Paper

Beyond the Quantum–Cosmology Divide is a position paper describing the conceptual evolution of the Scalar Drag Emergence Framework (SDEF). The framework was originally developed to investigate whether common organizational principles could connect quantum phenomena and cosmological structure. As the framework matured, it became increasingly clear that the apparent divide between these domains was not fundamentally a question of scale, but a question of coherent organization. This paper argues that the central contribution of SDEF is not the direct unification of quantum mechanics and cosmology, but the articulation of a coherence-centered ontology. Within this perspective, ancestry, identity, persistence, resilience, and metastability are interpreted as descriptive frameworks for understanding how coherent organization forms, survives, and evolves across different regimes. The quantum–cosmology bridge is therefore reinterpreted as a special case of a broader organizational principle. Quantum systems, biological systems, stars, galaxies, and other persistent structures are viewed as different manifestations of coherent organization maintained through regime-specific architectures. This work is intentionally presented as a position paper. Its purpose is not to introduce new formalism, metrics, or derivations, but to document the conceptual evolution of SDEF and its interpretation of coherence as a scale-agnostic organizational phenomenon.
