Coherence as a Generative Principle: Background Field Dynamics and the Emergence of Structured Systems

Coherence has long been recognized as an important characteristic of organized physical and biological systems, yet its potential role as a generative organizational principle remains insufficiently explored. This article develops a conceptual framework in which coherence is understood as an active contributor to the emergence and persistence of structured systems through progressive phase stabilization and relational organization. The proposed model describes structural emergence as a continuous sequence of coherence-driven transitions extending from transient energetic fluctuations within a continuous background field to resonant interactions, coherent domains, and increasingly stable organizational configurations. Within this framework, dimensional energy is introduced as a conceptual representation of the informational and organizational aspects of relational field dynamics, contributing to phase regulation and coherence persistence rather than constituting an independent physical force. By emphasizing relational organization, recursive coherence reinforcement, and structural stabilization across multiple scales, the framework offers a complementary organizational perspective on self-organization and emergence. Rather than replacing established physical theories, it proposes that coherence-based relational dynamics may provide a useful conceptual foundation for investigating how increasingly complex physical and biological systems arise through continuous processes of organization and stabilization. This preprint presents a substantially revised and expanded conceptual framework for coherence-driven structural emergence and is intended for journal submission.
