Theoretical analysis reveals a threshold-classification framework of carried consequence across dynamic systems, suggesting reality unifies through structural thresholds rather than shared substance.
This paper contains a foundational statement of ToEv5, also referred to as Ev5: a threshold-classification and temporal-constraint theory of carried consequence. The manuscript introduces the Unified Coherence Model, expressed as dS/dt = alpha T - beta R + gamma A + delta F, as a formal and orienting account of how dynamic space changes through dynamic time through the interaction of tension, resistance, awareness, and feedback. The paper develops this equation into a Spine of threshold placements, moving from primitive difference through pattern, persistence, formation, object integrity, bearerhood, relation, succession, governance, memory, review, correction, basin escape, and generator decoupling. Its central claim is that reality is not unified by sameness of substance, scale, or domain, but by a recurring threshold problem: when does a difference become carried consequence? Ev5 is presented as a placement discipline using Boundary, Load, Carrier, Pressure, Counterfeit Exclusion, Track, Evidence, Status, and Reopening. The manuscript defines these terms, distinguishes coherence from counterfeit coherence, and illustrates the method through examples from geology and institutional correction. It is offered as a foundational theoretical statement rather than a completed physical law or fully validated model, with future work directed toward case ledgers, node-specific examples, independent application, and reproducibility testing.
