This paper presents a substrate‑level reinterpretation of magnetic alignment within the MID/QC framework. Classical models describe alignment as a spin‑level process mediated by exchange interactions and thermal competition. In contrast, the MID/QC substrate model explains alignment as coherence‑channel ordering: the tendency of matter to minimize tension‑geometry mismatch with directional substrate gradients. Magnetic domains align not because of internal spin preference alone, but because alignment reduces substrate tension and increases coherence continuity. This mechanism provides a unified physical basis for domain formation, hysteresis, and field‑driven ordering, consistent with classical predictions but grounded in deeper substrate dynamics.
