Key result
Ki-Net model posits cardiac rhythm synchronizes with spatial fields, suggesting future implants mirror this geometry.
Why the study?
Contemporary understanding of cardiac rhythm as an electrical signaling system is considered mechanically accurate but ontologically incomplete.
Should not change clinical rhythm or arrest management; leaves open Ki-Net synchronization as hypothesis-generating for basic research validation.
Contemporary cardiology understands cardiac rhythm as an electrical signaling system. This model is mechanically accurate but ontologically incomplete. This paper proposes the Ki-Net Synchronization Model: the heart does not generate its rhythm — it synchronizes with a pre-existing spatial structure (the Ki-Net, 気の網) that carries the design of rhythmic boundary-surface propagation. Cardiac arrest is not merely electrical failure; it is loss of synchronization between cardiac tissue and the Ki-Net field. Every heartbeat is an act of synchronization. Engineering implication: cardiac implants designed with boundary-surface geometry mirroring the Ki-Net pattern will facilitate synchronization rather than impose rhythm — a new paradigm for cardiac neural engineering. Connects Sheldrake morphogenetic field theory, Dual-Layer Cosmology (Koku/Genki Universe), and Dual-Layer 3D Output System.

Yoshimitsu Katayama (2026) studied this question. The Ki-Net Synchronization Model posits that cardiac rhythm arises from synchronization with a pre-existing spatial field, suggesting future implants should mirror this boundary-surface geometry.
