Investigating Large‑Scale Bioelectric Coherence Fields in Plants and Humans: A Two‑Phase Research Programme

This document presents a two‑phase research programme investigating the possibility of large‑scale, low‑frequency bioelectric coherence fields in plants and humans. The work is grounded in established bioelectric phenomena such as membrane potentials, wound‑healing currents, developmental patterning, and long‑distance electrical signalling in plants. It proposes that, in addition to these well‑studied local events, multicellular organisms may exhibit emergent, organism‑scale electrical organisation that has not yet been systematically explored. Phase 1 outlines a multidisciplinary research proposal for detecting and characterising coherence fields in trees. It includes evolutionary rationale, experimental design, orientation studies, stress‑response measurements, and weak‑field perturbation protocols. Trees are selected as the initial model due to their large conductive networks, slow electrical rhythms, and strong coupling to environmental fields. Phase 2 extends the framework to humans, proposing a programme to investigate whole‑body electrical coherence using multi‑site electrophysiology, state‑dependent measurements, orientation experiments, and controlled weak‑field studies. The proposal is cautious and grounded, emphasising testability and alignment with known physiology. Together, these proposals aim to open a new line of inquiry into organism‑scale bioelectric organisation. Potential future applications include improved understanding of recovery, sleep, wound healing, post‑operative trajectories, controlled‑environment agriculture, and biological function in off‑world habitats where geomagnetic scaffolding may be absent. The document is intended as a foundation for interdisciplinary research and is shared openly so that interested scientists, engineers, and institutions may evaluate, refine, or pursue the ideas further.
